PERIODONTOLOGY
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile — prevent gum disease, protect jawbone, and keep your teeth for life.
PERIODONTOLOGY
5.1 PERIODONTICS
Introduction:
Periodontal treatment is not just about protecting teeth - it's about protecting the strong foundation of your smile.
Why Choose Periodontal Treatment?
Why Choose / Key Benefits:
Stop Infection Early
Control bacterial infection that causes gum inflammation and bleeding. Prevent progression from gingivitis to severe periodontitis.
Protect Teeth & Bone
Help prevent bone resorption and tooth loosening caused by periodontitis. Support the long-term stability of natural teeth and dental restorations.
Fresh Breath
Reduce bad breath and discomfort related to gum disease. Improve gum health, making daily oral care easier.
Benefits of Periodontal Treatment
Periodontal treatment is one of the most important investments for long-term oral health. By removing harmful bacteria and reducing inflammation, treatment helps stabilize teeth, protect bone, and maintain a healthy foundation for your smile.

Teeth appear longer, exposed roots, or sensitive teeth.
Smokers
Higher risk of periodontal damage and recurrence.
High-Risk / History of Periodontitis
Maintenance care to prevent recurrence.
Treatment Steps
Step 1 - Periodontal Assessment
Gum examination, periodontal pocket depth measurement, and diagnostic tests to evaluate gum and bone health.
Step 2 - X-Rays & Risk Assessment
X-rays to evaluate bone levels and identify areas of hidden infection.
Step 3 - Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
Remove plaque and tartar below the gumline and smooth root surfaces to reduce bacterial buildup.
Step 4 - Periodic Follow-Up
Follow-up to monitor healing and inflammation reduction; additional care measures may be needed for severe cases.
Step 5 - Maintenance & Home Care Guidance
Personalized hygiene instructions and regular maintenance visits to prevent recurrence.
Before and After Periodontal Treatment
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?
Gingivitis is early-stage gum inflammation and is usually reversible. Periodontitis is more advanced and can cause bone loss and tooth loosening.
Q: Can gum disease be cured?
Yes. Early-stage gingivitis can be cured, and advanced-stage disease can be managed with professional treatment and consistent maintenance.
Q: Is deep cleaning painful?
Most patients find it manageable. If gums are inflamed or pockets are deep, comfort measures can be applied.
Q: Can gum disease cause bad breath?
Yes, bacteria below the gumline are often the cause of persistent bad breath. Treatment usually improves this significantly.
Q: Will my gums grow back after recession?
Gum recession may not fully reverse on its own. Treatment focuses on halting progression; in some cases, surgical options may be considered.
Q: How often do I need maintenance?
This depends on your condition and risk factors. Many periodontal patients benefit from more frequent maintenance visits compared to standard checkups.
