Gum Treatments
Bleeding gums? Mobile teeth?
Gum disease - Some common gum problems are: gum recession, bone loss, deep pockets, persistent inflammation, bleeding gums, mobile tooth.
A full mouth, all quadrant X-ray and a complete clinical periodontal (gum) examination can give the exact condition of your gums.
Pregnant women should definitely have their gums examined for a healthy childbirth.
Teenagers and adolescents should have their gums examined due to changes in their hormones.
Scaling or professional teeth cleaning of teeth surfaces should be done once every 6 months, if needed. Following simple home-based recommended oral hygiene instructions can keep gums and teeth healthy for a lifetime.
Flap Surgery
Flap surgery can help with teeth that are compromised due to bone loss and weakened supporting structures. It can rejuvenate infected areas and promote healing for periodontal abscesses or infections that don't respond to other treatments. Tooth stability can be attained, and mobile teeth can be stabilized by a process called splinting, which involves fixing a fiber or wire strand to them.
Root Surface Debridement & Deep Cleaning
This involves deep cleaning the root surfaces of teeth, removing plaque, tartar, and infected tissue.
