Periodontics: Expert Care for Healthy Gums at Neoface
Introduction
Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum diseases and the supporting structures of teeth, including the gums and bone. Healthy gums are essential for maintaining strong teeth and overall oral health. Neglecting gum health can lead to periodontal diseases, which may result in tooth loss and systemic health issues.
Gum Diseases – CGG & CGP
Gum diseases are primarily classified into:
1. Chronic Gingivitis (CGG)
- A mild and reversible form of gum disease caused by plaque buildup.
- Symptoms include red, swollen gums that bleed easily during brushing or flossing.
- If untreated, it can progress into more severe forms of periodontal disease.
Chronic Generalized Periodontitis (CGP)
- A more advanced and irreversible stage of gum disease affecting the bone and supporting structures of the teeth.
- It leads to gum recession, bone loss, tooth mobility, and eventually tooth loss.
- This condition requires professional treatment to prevent further progression.
Treatments for Gum Diseases
At Neoface, we provide advanced periodontal treatments to restore gum health and prevent tooth loss.
1. Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
- A non-surgical procedure to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline.
- Root planing smooths the root surfaces to prevent bacteria from reattaching, promoting gum healing.
2. Curettage
- A minimally invasive technique that removes infected gum tissue and helps in the healing of periodontal pockets.
3. Flap Surgery
- A surgical procedure where the gum tissue is lifted to thoroughly clean deep periodontal pockets.
- The gums are then repositioned to promote proper healing and reduce pocket depth.
4. Gingivectomy & Gingivoplasty
- Gingivectomy: The removal of excess gum tissue to eliminate deep pockets and improve oral hygiene.
- Gingivoplasty: The reshaping of gum tissue to enhance the appearance and contour of the gums.
5. Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR)
- An advanced procedure that regenerates lost bone and gum tissue using biological membranes and bone grafts.
- It helps in restoring periodontal structures and improving the stability of affected teeth.
At Neoface, we are committed to providing the best periodontal care to prevent, treat, and manage gum diseases effectively. Our expert periodontists use cutting-edge techniques to restore healthy gums, strong teeth, and a confident smile!
