Periodontal (Gum) Treatment
Halt gum disease, stop bleeding gums, eliminate deep bacterial infection, and protect your jawbone foundation with advanced periodontal care.
What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal (gum) disease is a chronic bacterial infection affecting the gums, periodontal ligaments, and alveolar jawbone supporting your teeth. It starts when soft microbial plaque is allowed to harden into subgingival tartar below the gumline, triggering chronic inflammatory destruction.
1. Gingivitis (Early Reversible Stage)
Plaque irritates the gum margins, making them red, puffy, and prone to bleeding during brushing. 100% completely reversible with professional ultrasonic scaling.
2. Periodontitis (Advanced Bone Loss)
Infection breaks down the gum attachment, creating deep pockets where bacteria erode the jawbone. If left untreated, teeth loosen, drift, and eventually fall out.
Signs & Symptoms to Watch For
Gum disease can progress silently without severe pain in early stages. Look out for:
Pink or red blood in the sink while spitting toothpaste.
Healthy gums should be pale pink, firm, and stippled.
Anaerobic bacteria lurking deep inside periodontal pockets.
Gums pulling back, exposing sensitive tooth root surfaces.
Teeth wobbling when eating or gaps opening up between teeth.
Causes & Contributing Factors
While plaque bacteria are the root trigger, these factors accelerate bone loss:
Missing flossing leaves interdental biofilm to calcify into calculus.
Nicotine restricts gum blood flow, masking bleeding and worsening infection.
High blood glucose impairs immune defense, increasing infection rates.
Pregnancy and hormonal shifts heighten gum tissue sensitivity.
Stages of Periodontal Disease
Early diagnosis is essential to halt irreversible bone loss and save your natural teeth.
1. Healthy Gums
Firm, pale pink gums that wrap tightly around the teeth. Zero bleeding during brushing or flossing.
2. Gingivitis (Reversible)
Plaque inflames gum margins; gums bleed when brushing. Reversible with professional ultrasonic scaling.
3. Early Periodontitis
Bacteria penetrate below the gumline, forming 4-5mm pockets. Early jawbone loss begins.
4. Advanced Periodontitis
Severe bone erosion, deep pockets (6mm+), loose teeth, and recurrent gum abscesses requiring surgical therapy.
Periodontal Treatments We Offer
From non-surgical deep cleaning to micro-surgical pocket reduction and bone regeneration.
Deep Root Planing
Subgingival ultrasonic scaling and root smoothing to remove bacterial toxins below the gums.
Flap Pocket Surgery
Gentle surgical lifting of gums to clear deep tartar, then secured tightly around the tooth.
Tooth Splinting
Reinforces and stabilizes wobbly teeth by joining them to stronger adjacent natural teeth.
Bone Regeneration
Biocompatible bone grafts placed to rebuild bone lost to periodontitis.
