A little TLC for Your Gums Smile
Medically reviewed by Dr Gerald Fernandez, Dentist ·
At Dentélle by WDC, we know that healthy gums are the foundation of a beautiful smile. Gum disease is often painless in its early stages and can silently affect your oral health, leading to serious complications if left untreated.
Our comprehensive periodontal and gum treatment services are designed to keep your gums healthy and prevent periodontal disease. With our skilled team and advanced techniques, you can enjoy a healthy, confident smile.
Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is an infection of the tissues that support and hold your teeth in. It typically starts with gingivitis, an inflammation of the gums, which can progress to more severe stages if not treated. Advanced periodontal disease can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss.
Our goal at Dentélle by WDC is to catch and treat gum disease early, preventing it from causing more serious health issues.
Early detection of gum disease is crucial for effective treatment. Here are some common signs and symptoms to watch out for:
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to schedule an appointment with us at Dentélle by WDC for a comprehensive periodontal evaluation.
Your journey to healthier gums begins with a thorough periodontal evaluation. Our experienced dentists will examine your gums, measure the depth of the pockets around your teeth, and assess your overall gum health. We map the condition of your gum health using at least 18 separate measurements per tooth. We use advanced diagnostic tools to get a detailed view of your periodontal condition, allowing us to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Root planing is a deep cleaning procedure designed to remove plaque and tartar buildup below your gums. This treatment eliminate bacteria that cause gum disease and smoothens your root surfaces, promoting the reattachment of your gums to your teeth. Root planing is often the first step in treating periodontal disease and preventing its progression.
Regular maintenance of the areas around your teeth is essential for keeping gum disease at bay. After your initial treatment, we’ll schedule regular maintenance visits to monitor your gum health and perform deep cleanings as needed. These visits are crucial for preventing the recurrence of gum disease and maintaining your oral health.
In some cases, we may recommend antibiotic therapy to help control bacterial infection in the gums. Antibiotics can be applied directly to the gum pockets or taken orally to reduce bacteria and inflammation. This treatment can be highly effective in managing periodontal disease.
For advanced cases of periodontal disease, surgical treatments may be necessary. Our skilled team can perform various periodontal surgeries, such as gum grafting, pocket reduction surgery, and regenerative procedures, to restore gum health and prevent tooth loss. We’ll discuss your options and ensure you receive the best care possible.
Periodontal treatment helps manage gum disease and improve gum health, but like all dental procedures, it has risks and recovery considerations.
