Gum Disease Treatment in Turkey
Gum disease and tooth decay are treated before cosmetic or implant work, so that new restorations have a healthy foundation.
The basics
What is periodontal treatment?
Gum disease is caused by bacteria that stick to the teeth, irritate the gums and make them bleed. Over time it can damage the gum and bone that support the teeth. Diabetes and smoking increase the risk.
Symptoms
Signs of gum disease
- Swollen, bright red or purple gums
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Pain when the gums are touched
- Receding gums that make the teeth look longer
- New gaps between the teeth
- Pus between the teeth and gums
- A metallic taste or bad breath
- Loose teeth
Treatment
How gum disease is treated
Early gum disease is treated by removing plaque and tartar from the teeth and smoothing the root surfaces, which helps the gum reattach. More advanced cases may need surgery to clean deep pockets around the teeth.
Results depend on how severe the disease was and how well you clean at home every day.
