Gum Disease Treatment at Al Qadi Medical Center: Protecting Your Oral Health
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is one of the most common oral health issues that can lead to serious consequences if left untreated. At Al Qadi Medical Center, we offer advanced Gum Disease Treatment to prevent, manage, and reverse the effects of this condition. Our team of dental specialists focuses on preserving your gum health and maintaining a strong foundation for your teeth, ensuring your overall oral well-being.
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is an infection of the gums that support your teeth. It typically starts as gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and, if not treated, can progress to periodontitis, leading to bone loss and tooth loss. Common symptoms include swollen, bleeding gums, bad breath, and gum recession. Our comprehensive gum disease treatment addresses both early and advanced stages, providing personalized care to restore your oral health.
Details of the Service:
Our gum disease treatment process is thorough and tailored to each patient’s specific condition. It generally involves the following steps:
- Initial Consultation and Diagnosis:
- During your first visit, our periodontist or dental hygienist will examine your gums, take X-rays, and measure the depth of the pockets around your teeth to determine the severity of the gum disease.
- Non-Surgical Treatment (Scaling and Root Planing):
- For early-stage gum disease (gingivitis or mild periodontitis), we perform scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline. This process also smooths the tooth root surfaces to prevent future plaque buildup and allow the gums to reattach to the teeth.
- Laser Gum Treatment (Optional):
- In some cases, we may use laser therapy to target and remove infected tissue while promoting faster healing. This modern, minimally invasive technique reduces discomfort and speeds up recovery.
- Antibiotic Therapy:
- To control bacterial infection, we may prescribe antibiotics or apply antimicrobial agents directly to the gum pockets to reduce inflammation and kill harmful bacteria.
- Surgical Intervention (For Advanced Periodontitis):
- For patients with advanced periodontitis, surgical procedures such as flap surgery or bone grafts may be necessary. Flap surgery involves lifting the gums to remove deep-seated plaque and tartar, while bone grafting restores lost bone tissue around the teeth.
- Follow-Up and Maintenance:
- After the initial treatment, maintaining regular dental visits is crucial to monitor your gum health and prevent the disease from recurring. Our dental team will provide a personalized oral care routine and schedule routine cleanings to help you stay on track.
Key Benefits of Gum Disease Treatment:
- Prevent Tooth Loss: Gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults, but timely treatment can help save your teeth.
- Reduce Inflammation: Professional treatment reduces gum inflammation, leading to healthier, pain-free gums.
- Improve Oral and Overall Health: Gum disease is linked to other health issues such as heart disease and diabetes. Treating your gum disease can reduce these risks and improve your overall well-being.
- Freshen Breath: Treatment helps eliminate bad breath caused by bacterial buildup in the gums.
- Restore Your Smile: By addressing gum recession and infection, treatment helps improve the aesthetics of your smile.
