Periodontal Care

Gum disease, commonly known as periodontal disease, affects more than 80% of Indians in some way. In actuality, periodontal disease is the main reason why adults lose their teeth. Some people don’t even recognize they have a problem until the disease has wreaked havoc on their mouths and oral health because the early symptoms are subtle. In order to stop the spread of gum disease and restore tooth health, we provide periodontal services if you have worries about it.
Oral bacteria produce plaque, which is a sticky material. It coats teeth and has the potential to solidify into tartar, an impermeable substance that irritates gum tissue and breeds illness. Gum swelling, redness, and bleeding are symptoms of gingivitis, the first stage of periodontal disease. The tissues that link the gums to the teeth are destroyed by bacteria. Your gums will pull away from your teeth as the illness worsens, and pockets of infection will develop.
A hygienist will look for periodontal pockets during your six-monthly dental cleanings. She will gauge the severity of the illness by measuring the depth of any pockets you may have. Scaling and root planing, a process that involves removing tartar from teeth’s roots and polishing them, can occasionally reverse the course of an infection and get rid of it. Gums recover and reattach to teeth throughout time. However, in rare instances, more thorough therapy is necessary for gum disease.
