Gum Treatments (Periodontics)

Gum Treatments (Periodontics)

1. Treatment of bleeding gum & bad breath

Blood is coming out of gum or a pungent odour is coming out from your mouth while talking to others or both........ Can you even think of these??

All such worries originate from some gum diseases. We call these gingivitis (milder form) or periodontitis (severe form). With the advancement of the disease, gum gets detached from the underlying structures and several types of micro organism harbour in that crater (pocket) resulting in bleeding, foul smell and sometimes mobility of the teeth.

This periodontitis lead to loss of tooth/teeth if left untreated. It can attribute to stroke, cardiac diseases, lung issues, diabetes, pre mature low weight baby (in pregnant mothers).....To name a few.

Proper diagnosis, prompt treatment, regular follow-up and most importantly strict adherence to the maintenance protocols can restrict the disease.

Routine cleaning of the teeth may not be sufficient at times. Some surgical interventions may be required along with routine prophylaxis.

The treatment may need 3-5 appointments and the cost ranges from Rs 6000-10000 depending upon the extent of damage taken place and the procedure to be performed.

 

2. Gum Repositioning

Have noticed that your pink gum has been lost in some part of your mouth and underlying root portion of the tooth is visible?

We call it gingival recession which can be corrected by some extremely technique sensitive interventions.

Proper diagnosis, prompt treatment, regular follow-up and most importantly strict adherence to the maintenance protocols are needed to get rid of such situations.

The treatment may need 2-4 appointments and the cost ranges from Rs 4000-10000 depending upon the extent of damage taken place and the procedure to be performed.
