Periodontics

Periodontics

Periodontics focuses on treating gum diseases with procedures like flap surgeries to clean infected areas and grafting surgeries to regenerate lost tissue. Managing bleeding gums and addressing underlying issues are crucial for maintaining healthy gums and overall oral health.

Flap Surgeries

Flap surgeries are advanced periodontal procedures used to treat severe gum disease. During the surgery, the gums are gently lifted to allow deep cleaning of the tooth roots and removal of plaque and tartar. This helps reduce inflammation and pocket depths, promoting healthy reattachment of the gums to the teeth and preventing further periodontal damage.

Bleeding Gums

Bleeding gums are often a sign of gum disease, such as gingivitis or periodontitis. Treatment focuses on improving oral hygiene and addressing the underlying infection. This may include professional teeth cleaning, scaling and root planing, and the use of antiseptic mouth rinses. Early intervention and consistent care are crucial to prevent progression to more serious conditions.

Grafting Surgeries

Grafting surgeries involve transplanting tissue to repair and regenerate areas of the gums or jawbone affected by disease or trauma. Common procedures include gum grafts, which use tissue from the patient or a donor to cover exposed roots and reduce sensitivity, and bone grafts, which rebuild bone structure to support dental implants or other restorations. These surgeries enhance both the function and appearance of the oral structures.
