Advanced Gum Treatment (Periodontal Therapy)
Advanced gum treatment is a vital procedure designed to stop gum disease in its tracks and protect the foundation of your teeth. Gum disease (periodontitis) affects the tissues and bone supporting your teeth; if left untreated, it can lead to tooth mobility and loss. Advanced gum therapy cleans deep below the gum line to remove infection, reduce inflammation, and help your gums reattach firmly to your teeth.
At Matoshree Multispeciality Dental Clinic, we focus on halting the progression of gum disease using modern, minimally invasive techniques. Our goal is to eliminate bacteria, heal your gums, and safeguard your smile’s long-term health in the most gentle way possible.
What Happens During Advanced Gum Treatment?
The treatment is customized based on the severity of the condition but generally involves these key steps:
Comprehensive Examination: We assess the health of your gums using periodontal charting and digital X-rays to measure bone levels and identify areas of deep infection.
Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing): Using specialized ultrasonic instruments, we carefully remove plaque and tartar (calculus) from above and below the gum line. We then smooth the root surfaces to prevent bacteria from sticking again.
Infection Control: In some cases, we apply antimicrobial medications or use laser therapy to eliminate remaining bacteria and stimulate tissue healing.
Healing and Maintenance: Once the infection is cleared, the gums are allowed to heal and tighten around the teeth. We create a personalized maintenance schedule to prevent recurrence.
The process is typically performed under local anesthesia when necessary, ensuring you remain comfortable. Most patients report feeling a sense of "lightness" and cleanliness immediately after the procedure.
When to Consider Advanced Gum Treatment
Healthy gums should be pink and firm. You may need gum treatment if you notice:
Bleeding while brushing or flossing
Red, swollen, or tender gums
Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
Gums that are pulling away from the teeth (receding gums)
Loose teeth or changes in the way your teeth fit together when biting
If you experience these symptoms, prompt action is essential. Early treatment can reverse damage and prevent tooth loss.
Technology and Comfort
Our clinic utilizes modern technology such as ultrasonic scalers and advanced periodontal probes to make gum treatments efficient and thorough. These tools allow us to clean areas that traditional tools cannot reach, ensuring better healing and less post-procedure discomfort.
We emphasize patient comfort—our approach is gentle, and the environment is relaxed, so you can feel at ease knowing your oral health is in expert hands.
Aftercare and Recovery
After a deep cleaning, some mild sensitivity to cold or slight tenderness is normal for a day or two. This usually subsides quickly and can be managed with desensitizing toothpaste or mild medication. We will provide you with specific oral hygiene instructions—including proper flossing techniques—to ensure your gums remain pink and healthy for years to come.
