What is Gum Therapy Treatment?

Gum therapy treatment, or periodontal therapy, encompasses various procedures designed to manage and treat gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. This condition occurs when bacteria accumulate along the gumline, leading to inflammation, infection, and potential damage to the gums and supporting structures of the teeth.

When Should I Get Gum Therapy Treatment?

You should consider Gum therapy treatment if you experience any of the following signs or symptoms of gum disease:

Red, swollen, or tender gums
Bleeding gums, especially during brushing or flossing
Persistent bad breath or a foul taste in the mouth
Receding gums or changes in the appearance of the gumline
Loose or shifting teeth
Pus between the teeth and gums
Sensitivity or pain when chewing

Additionally, individuals with risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, hormonal changes, genetic predisposition, or poor oral hygiene habits may benefit from gum therapy treatment to prevent or manage gum disease.

What Happens During Gum Therapy Treatment?

The gum therapy treatment process typically involves the following steps:

Comprehensive Examination: Your dentist will conduct a thorough assessment of your oral health, which may include measuring the depth of gum pockets, evaluating gum tissue quality, and taking X-rays to assess bone loss.
Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planning): If gum disease is present, the initial phase of treatment involves removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from above and below the gumline through a procedure called scaling and root planning. This process helps eliminate infection and promote gum healing.
Periodontal Maintenance: Following scaling and root planning, our experts may recommend regular periodontal maintenance visits to monitor your gum health, remove any remaining plaque or tartar, and prevent the recurrence of gum disease.
Surgical Interventions: In severe cases of gum disease or if non-surgical treatments are ineffective, surgical interventions such as gum flap surgery, bone grafting, or tissue regeneration procedures may be recommended to restore gum health and prevent further damage.

Gum therapy treatment is a vital component of maintaining optimal oral health and preventing the progression of gum disease. If you’re experiencing symptoms of gum disease or are at risk due to underlying factors, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with our experienced Gum Specialist. We’ll work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs, helping you achieve and maintain healthy gums for a lifetime.

"Always feared going to a dentist for my gums as my last experience wasn’t that pleasant. Ridgetop’s professionals somehow have changed the entire perception. Dr. Akanksha helped me understand the problem first and suggested the treatment with an immense amount of patience. Dr. Akshay again is very experienced and professional and will make sure the treatment is as painless as possible and will also take care of the music you want to listen to while your dental health is being upgraded."
