GUMS DISEASES TREATMENT

It is a branch of dentistry that deals with the problems related to the hard and soft tissues surrounding the tooth.

Gum diseases are usually manifested as gingivitis.It is mostly caused by bacteria.

If the attachments called plaque, which adhere to the tooth surface after food consumption, are not cleaned from the area for a long time, they calcify and form dental calculus.
These tartars cause gingivitis in the short term, Gingivitis manifests itself as bleeding and a small amount of redness in the gums.
The tight pink-orange peel-like structure of healthy gingiva has begun to disappear a little.
The treatment of gingivitis is calculus removal, also known as scaling.
In this treatment, calculus causing gingivitis is removed from the area with special vibration hand tools.
If gingivitis is not treated, the picture turns into an advanced gingival infection called periodontitis.
In this picture, advanced gingivitis and bone destruction due to this inflammation are observed.
Its treatment is a procedure called curettage in the early period.

During the curettage procedure, that area is cleaned of infected appendages and infected soft tissues under local anesthesia.
In cases where curettage is not sufficient in the late period, the area is surgically opened under local anesthesia.
Attachments are removed, infected soft tissues are cleaned, bone damaged due to infection is repaired and straightened.
Bone powder is applied if necessary.

In this way, the movement of the teeth due to bone loss can be prevented. All these procedures can be performed under clinical conditions.
