PERIODONTITIS TREATMENT
When gingivitis is left untreated it can develop into a more severe condition called periodontitis. Periodontitis occurs when the gums become inflamed and pull away from the teeth, forming gaps between the tooth and the gums. These are called periodontal pockets. Plaque and bacteria get trapped in these pockets which cause further inflammation, and in turn weakens the tooth, bone, and gums. Because the body’s immune system attempts to fight this bacteria by breaking it down, it can begin to attack the bone and gums that hold the teeth in place.
If left untreated, periodontitis can lead to bone and even tooth loss. Periodontitis has been linked to severe systemic diseases including diabetes, heart disease, and lung disease. Our dentist will diagnose periodontal disease during your regular dental check-up with a periodontal examination. A periodontal examination is when a small probe is used to measure the space between the teeth and gums.
LASER THERAPY
Platinum Medical center uses prominent technologies to treat your dental concerns. Laser Dentistry can be part of your treatment plan and play an important role in dentistry which enables us to provide a better patient experience.
It is comparatively quiet, comfortable, fast, and efficient. The laser generates a beam of concentrated light energy which precisely targets the specific area to help remove areas of infection and remove any soft tissue in the mouth. It is less invasive and more accurate treatment.
We will generally use laser assistance for the following procedures:
- Periodontal Treatment
- Implantology
- Teeth Whitening
- Gum Depigmentation
- Oral Surgery
Using laser for certain treatment can have several benefits for patients by
- Providing faster healing times,
- Reducing the risks of infection,
- Creating less bleeding.
- Creating less postoperative pain.
- Enhanced Comfort
SCALING & POLISHING
If your gum disease is diagnosed in the early stages and no damage has been detected, our dentist will suggest a periodic scaling and polishing. This removes disease-causing calculus, plaque and staining. Simply having your teeth professionally cleaned at least every six months will significantly slow down the progress of the periodontal disease. If the disease has progressed, you may require deep scaling and root planing. This procedure removes plaque and calculus from the roots of the teeth and deep periodontal pockets, helping the gums to heal and the pockets to shrink in size.
GINGIVECTOMY
The early stages of gum disease are called Gingivitis. Gingivitis usually occurs as a result of poor oral hygiene. As bacteria and plaque build-up on the teeth, especially near the gums, they cause the gums to become red, inflamed and tend to bleed easily. Because gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease, it can usually be reversed with thorough brushing and flossing combined with regular visits to the dental hygienist and dentist.
DEPIGMENTATION
Depigmentation is a simple, pain-free and quick cosmetic procedure to remove the black spots on your gums and give it a pink look. Pink gums are attractive, but not all people are born with it. The gums appear dark in shades of brown or black in some people, due to different reasons. It will lighten the gum and gives it a pink look.
Depigmentation is very effective when the dark patches on the gum are caused by melanin making cells. This is the most common cause of dark gums. Other possibilities for gum staining (or darkening) can be amalgam tattooing, diseased gums, or when the root of a tooth becomes discoloured. Not all types of the darkness of the gums are suitable for depigmentation.
