Periodontal disease is more than teeth or gums pain – it has the potential to lead to various health complications. At American Hospital Dubai, the team of dental professionals provides personalized and comprehensive Periodontics – Gum Disease Treatment to restore your oral health.
Periodontal disease is characterized as a bacterial infection in the gums caused by poor oral hygiene. It begins with the accumulation of plaque over the teeth, and if teeth are not properly brushed, the plaque hardens and transforms into a hard substance called tartar or calculus around the gum line. The calculus then irritates and inflames gums as the earliest signs of periodontal disease, called gingivitis. As the gum disease progresses, the gradual formation of tiny pockets filled up with bacteria and tartar takes place in between gums and teeth. If left untreated, the condition worsens and ends up destroying the bone around the teeth.
Dental healthcare practitioners have identified certain risk factors that can cause periodontal disease and these include:
Everybody is vulnerable to develop periodontitis at any stage in life, but there are several preventive measures that can lower the chances of getting gum disease. We, at American Hospital Dubai’s multi-specialty dental healthcare facility, can elaborate further on gum disease causes and treatment for you, to help keep your teeth and gums healthy for a long time.
Periodontal disease may not show any apparent symptoms in its early phase until it has progressed significantly, and may cause debilitating pain in teeth or jaw, accompanied by one or more of the following symptoms:
The presence of the above symptoms suggests the need to schedule a periodontal evaluation for an effective gum disease treatment at a trusted dental-care hospital-like American Hospital Dubai. The sooner professional dental care is sought, the better the chances to reverse diseased gums and prevent further health complications.
Early detection of periodontal disease can help eliminate symptoms completely, but if the condition progresses, it becomes chronic and challenging to manage. The team of Periodontics at our dental-care unit exhibit a wealth of expertise in diagnosing periodontal conditions and determining the best course of gum treatment through advanced techniques and technologies. Our team follows a conservative approach of preventive care when it comes to treating teeth and gums diseases, and offers the following gum treatment options:
Laser gum treatment is a virtually painless procedure performed for the removal of infected tissue around gums.
Scaling and root planing is carried out to eliminate the hardened calculus from the roots and smoothing out the rough edges of the gum pockets.
A gum graft is recommended when bone and gum tissues have been damaged by periodontitis, and require a guided tissue regeneration to function again. The procedure involves the introduction of regenerative substances into the mouth that aids the body to naturally reconstruct gums onto the exposed roots.
The bone graft is indicated when the jaw is worn away from the untreated periodontal disease. The procedure uses a bone from another part of the body or from another donor to build up the jaw.
Dental implant surgery is performed to replace diseased or missing teeth with artificial metal posts.
