Gingivitis and Periodontitis Treatment
Gum health is just as important as tooth health. Gingivitis and periodontitis are two common conditions that affect the gums and, if not treated promptly, can lead to tooth loss. At **The Art of Dentistry** clinic, we apply modern and effective treatments to address these issues, helping you maintain a healthy and beautiful smile.
Gingivitis Treatment
Gingivitis is the first stage of gum disease, caused by the accumulation of bacteria and plaque. It is effectively treated with:
- Professional cleaning: To remove tartar and microbial plaque
- Oral hygiene instructions: To prevent the recurrence of the problem
- Special antiseptic treatments: When needed
Symptoms of Gingivitis:
- Bleeding while brushing
- Redness and swelling of the gums
- Bad breath
If detected early, gingivitis is reversible and can be fully treated with proper care.
Periodontitis Treatment
Periodontitis is the advanced form of gingivitis and can lead to gum recession, bone destruction, and tooth loss. Treatment includes:
- Deep cleaning (root scaling and planing), to remove bacteria beneath the gums
- Application of antibacterial agents, to combat the infection
- Specialized periodontal treatments, in advanced stages
- Surgical interventions (if necessary), to regenerate bone and gums
Symptoms of Periodontitis:
- Gum recession
- Tooth mobility
- Constant bad breath
- Tooth sensitivity
Periodontitis is a chronic condition that requires immediate and specialised care to maintain the health of the teeth and gums.
