Gum Diseases

The most important symptom seen in gingival diseases is gingival bleeding. Bleeding does not occur in a healthy gum. Swelling, redness, discoloration, gingival recession, gingival enlargement, swaying or displacement of the teeth, sensitivity and bad breath are among the frequently observed symptoms of gingival diseases.

Early-stage gum disease is known as gingivitis. When the inflammation in the gums is not treated, the connective tissues that fix the teeth to the jawbone become inflamed. This stage of gingivitis, which is advanced gingivitis, is called “periodontitis”. Periodontitis, which is an extremely serious problem, should be treated as soon as possible.

Treatment methods of gum diseases; It varies depending on the stage of the disease, the degree of effectiveness of the previous treatments and the general health status. Gum treatments are divided into two classes as surgical and non-surgical. Non-surgical gum treatment methods can be listed as follows;

• Cleaning the teeth

• Tooth scaling and root planning

• Pocket reduction surgery

• bone graft

• soft tissue grafts

• Guided tissue regeneration (GDR)
