What Is Periodontology?

Periodontology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of gum diseases. Inflammation of the tissues surrounding the teeth can lead to problems such as gum recession and tooth loss. If left untreated, these conditions can progress to tooth and bone loss. At Ova Dental Clinic, our specialist periodontists help prevent these problems and effectively treat gum diseases.

What Are Gum Diseases and Their Treatment Types?

Gum diseases often progress unnoticed. Early diagnosis of these diseases is crucial to protect both dental and overall oral health. The main types of gum treatments we offer at our clinic include:

Scaling – Professional Cleaning

Plaque and tartar buildup on the tooth surface is one of the most common causes of gum disease. Scaling removes plaque and tartar, preventing gum inflammation. This procedure is essential to maintain gum health and should be performed regularly.

Deep Cleaning – Curettage

Curettage is a procedure for cleaning gum pockets. As gum disease progresses, pockets form between the teeth and gums where bacteria accumulate. Curettage thoroughly cleans these pockets, halting the progression of gum disease and restoring gum health.

Flap Surgery

This surgical method is used for advanced gum disease. The gums are lifted to clean and reshape the underlying tissues. Flap surgery restores healthy gum tissue and reduces the risk of tooth loss.

Gum Graft

When gums recede, the roots of the teeth may become exposed, leading to sensitivity and aesthetic concerns. Gum grafting involves placing healthy gum tissue, usually taken from the patient, over the affected area. This procedure provides both an aesthetic solution and protection for the tooth roots.

Laser Gum Treatment

Laser technology is an effective and minimally invasive method for treating gum diseases. Laser gum treatment cleans infected tissues without damaging the gums and speeds up the healing process. At Ova Dental, we offer comfortable and effective treatment options using the latest laser technologies.

Gum Contouring (Gingivoplasty)

Gum contouring is a procedure that reshapes the gums to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing smile. Excessive or asymmetrical gums can negatively impact the appearance of a smile. Gingivoplasty corrects the gums, creating a more balanced look.

Symptoms of Gum Diseases

Gum diseases are often painless, making them difficult to detect. However, the following symptoms may indicate gum disease:

• Swelling in the gums
• Redness in the gums
• Bleeding gums
• Gum recession
• Bad breath
• Tooth sensitivity
• Loose teeth

These symptoms may signal the early stages of gum disease or a more advanced problem. Therefore, it is important to see a dentist immediately if these signs are noticed.
