What is a Gum Disease?

Periodontal Gum Disease mainly include gingivitis and periodontitis, they are chronic bacterial infections and begin with the bacteria in dental plaque(the sticky film forms on the teeth daily).  Gingivitis often causes red, swollen gum and tooth brush bleeding. Periodontitis in addition to the above symptoms, will also appear sensitive teeth, weakness of mastication, loose teeth and even loss.

Systemic diseases associated with Gum Disease

Gum Disease not only causes red, bleeding gums, loose teeth, but also is closely related to many systemic diseases. Severe periodontitis is easy to cause bacterial endocarditis, aggravating diabetes complications, reduce the treatment effect of diabetes, but also easy to lead to abortion.

Principles for the treatment of Gum Disease

The treatment principle of Gum Diseases is to remove mechanical stimulation (calculus) and biological pathogens (pathogenic bacteria in dental plaque) to control the inflammation of periodontal tissue and stop alveolar bone resorption.

Periodontal treatment before implant surgery, orthodontic and other intraoral procedures can reduce the emergence of complications and promote effective tissue recovery after surgery.

In addition, cooperate closely with cardiovascular, endocrine and obstetricians to conduct prevention and targeted treatment to ensure the health of patients.

Periodontal treatment

Supraginginval scaling and subgingival curettage are the main treatments for Gum Diseases, which are common, non-invasive and very effective in removing calculus and dental plaque. Supraginginval cleaning uses ultrasound equipment to remove calculus and dental plaque above the gums (attached to the crown surface), and subgingival curettage uses ultrasound equipment and hand instruments to remove calculus and plaque below the gums (attached to the surface of the root).

Flap Surgery

It is for severe periodontitis, by turning up the gum mucosa, can be more clear, direct and effective removal of calculus and dental plaque.

Laser Treatment

Semiconductors laser and water laser is a kind of minimally invasive treatment, can effectively shape soft tissue, improve the appearance of periodontal tissue, while having a good anti-inflammatory effect on inflamed periodontal tissue.
