Gum treatment refers to a range of dental procedures to treat and manage gum diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, which affect the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth. The primary goal of gum treatment is to remove harmful bacteria, plaque, and tartar from the teeth and gums to prevent or halt the progression of infection, inflammation, and bone loss.
The most common non-surgical gum treatment is scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), where dental professionals clean below the gum line to remove plaque and tartar and smooth the roots to help the gums reattach to the teeth. In more severe cases, surgical options such as gum grafting, flap surgery, or bone grafts may be necessary to restore gum tissue and supporting structures.
Gum treatments are essential for maintaining healthy gums, preventing tooth loss, and ensuring long-term oral health. The experienced dental team at Om Sai Dental Centre carefully evaluates each patient’s condition and tailors the treatment plan to ensure optimal gum health. Their comprehensive approach not only helps in preventing tooth loss but also improves overall oral health and the aesthetics of your smile.
