Periodontology is known as a field of dentistry that studies the gums as well as the tissues that support the gums. Problems such as bleeding, sensitivity or recession in the gums progress further if left untreated. In particular, inflammation or swelling of the gums indicates problems in the gum tissue.
Periodontology Diseases and Treatment Process
As in all other dentistry areas, gingival treatments are planned after a detailed examination by the dentist. In some cases, in addition to gingival treatments, dental and jaw treatments need to be planned at the same time. Treatment plans can be in the form of non-surgical gum treatments, surgical gum treatments and aesthetic gum treatments.
Gum Treatment Against Bad Breath
Bad breath is one of the unwanted problems. Identifying the root cause of this problem is seen as the most important step in treatment. The source of bad breath may be a rotten tooth or gum problems. For this reason, it is possible to detect and treat bad breath caused by gingival problems, thanks to regular dental check-ups, with today`s treatment methods.
Gum Recession
Gums can be pulled back for many reasons. This problem, which exposes the roots of the tooth, can cause tooth sensitivity and even tooth loss if not treated. Gum recession is treated by dentists with non-surgical methods. In addition, other dental and gingival tissue treatments related to gingival recession are also applied.
Aesthetic Gum Applications
Frequently Asked Questions
First of all, dental calculus cleaning and, if necessary, deep cleaning (curettage) under anesthesia, which is necessary to achieve ideal gingival health, are completed. Corrections in gingival levels are regulated by gingivectomy (gingival cutting) or gingivoplasty (gingival shaping) after personalized treatment planning.
During these procedures, first of all, an injection is made into the mouth, and then necessary corrections are made with the help of laser, scalpel or cautery. Depending on the size of the treated area, it is completed in 20-40 minutes.
The recovery period varies between 2 and 6 weeks, depending on the procedure applied. If it is necessary to intervene in the bone around the tooth during the procedure, the recovery period is slightly longer.
If it is applied in a sterile environment and by specialist physicians, it does not have any risks other than routine surgical risks.
- Lack of brushing: With short-term or insufficiently effective brushing, food residues on the teeth cannot be cleaned. As a result of this situation, first of all, the gums become swollen and bleeding. When it is not prevented, the teeth wobble and fall with the destruction of the tissue around the tooth.
- Genetic factors: The familial predisposition of gum disease caused by tissue loss, especially in some cases, has been scientifically proven. While poor oral hygiene and other factors accelerate the course of the disease, the disease may progress even in the absence of any of these factors.
- Smoking: It negatively affects the nutrition of tissues by directly affecting the veins in the mouth. It accelerates the progression of the disease, especially in individuals with poor oral hygiene and genetic predisposition. At the same time, it delays the diagnosis of the disease by masking bleeding, which is the most important symptom of gingival diseases.
- Pregnancy: Changes in hormones during this period cause gingival sensitivity and bleeding. Dentist control is very important before and during pregnancy in order to prevent permanent problems that may occur in the future.
- Diabetes: In cases where blood sugar values are not under control, the gums, like other tissues of the body, are damaged. Diseases such as periodontitis and fungus are frequently seen in diabetics.
- Drug treatments: Some drugs used to treat epilepsy, birth control or high blood pressure can cause gum problems.
- Clenching and stress: Clenching (bruxism) and grinding, which occurs as a result of intense stress, seriously damage the jaw joint, teeth and gingival tissues.
Orthodontic control sessions are held at intervals of 4-6 weeks unless there is a special reason.
- Bleeding of the gums when brushing or out of the blue
- Redness and swelling
- Bad breath
- In cases where there is sensitivity and shaking in the teeth, a dentist should be consulted without wasting time.
Although bleeding is the most important symptom of gum disease, it does not appear only in this case. In the presence of dentures, untreated caries, and overflow fillings, gingival bleeding can also be seen in the mouth. It may also appear in cases of blood diseases such as certain medications, pregnancy, menopause, vitamin deficiencies and leukemia.
The main cause of gum disease is the sticky, colorless plaque that contains millions of bacteria on the teeth, and the calculus formed by the hardening of this plaque with blood and saliva. After removing the other factors causing the disease, the first thing to do is to clean the calculus and explain to the patient how to brush their teeth.
Oral hygiene education includes cleaning and smoothing the root surfaces under anesthesia, which we call tartar cleaning or curettage. When needed, treatment is supported with local drug applications. It is a minimally invasive and cost-effective treatment approach.
Since the treatments are performed by locally numbing the inside of the mouth, no pain is felt during the procedure.
