Treat gum disease and periodontitis, stop bleeding gums, and maintain strong bones and teeth.
Do you experience bleeding while brushing, red and swollen gums, or persistent bad breath? These symptoms could be early signs of “Gum Disease,” which, if left untreated, can progress to Periodontitis. This condition involves the destruction of the bone supporting the teeth, leading to loose teeth and potentially tooth loss. Timely treatment is therefore crucial, not only to halt the disease but also to preserve the foundation of your teeth and maintain your overall long-term oral health.
We provide systematic care and treatment for gum disease, ranging from early stages to severe cases, performed by a team of expert dentists.

Gum disease treatment is a topic many people may not fully understand. We have compiled frequently asked questions to answer your doubts and provide you with useful information.
Before the procedure, the dentist will administer a local anesthetic to the treatment area, so you will not feel any pain during the process. After treatment, you may experience slight tooth sensitivity or irritation.
In the early stage (Gingivitis), it can be completely cured. However, if it has progressed to periodontitis with bone destruction, treatment focuses on “controlling the disease” to keep it stable and prevent further progression. It is not possible to restore lost bone to its original state (except through bone grafting surgery).
Normal scaling cleans only the area above the gum line. Root planing is a deep cleaning procedure where instruments are used to remove tartar and bacteria attached to the root surface “under the gums,” an area that general scaling cannot reach.
If left untreated, inflammation will spread, progressively destroying the bone and tissues surrounding the teeth. This causes gum recession, loose teeth, and eventually, the loss of that tooth. Additionally, research links oral inflammation to other systemic diseases in the body.
The key is proper and consistent oral hygiene care at home, including brushing and using dental floss or interdental brushes to clean between teeth. This should be combined with visiting the dentist for check-ups and scaling every 3-6 months as recommended.
