How will I know that I need a gum treatment?
Bleeding from gums while brushing is one of the prime signs that signify the need for a gum treatment.
What happens in a gum treatment?
A gum treatment is actually a number of procedures combined in order to deliver healthy gums. It might be a simple scaling to curettage or maybe a minor surgical procedure depending upon the intensity of the gum disease and the treatment required to solve it.
What causes the gum to bleed?
The gum bleeds due to infection. If brushing is not done properly, the food particles tend to stick onto the tooth surface and gums. The oral bacteria then act on it and forms plaque. The plaque, if not cleaned properly, hardens to form calcified deposits known as calculus. These in turn becomes infected, if not cleaned by a professional, causing the gingiva to bleed. This condition is known as gingivitis. If it is still not treated it can lead to loosening of the teeth which is caused by the spread of infection into the underlying bones. The condition is known as periodontitis. If it is treated at the 1st stage, only oral prophylaxis is generally enough to restore a healthy gum. But if it progresses to the 2nd stage, sometimes even a minor surgical procedure might be needed.
Does a gum treatment cause any damage to the teeth?
The minor gum treatment is a procedure named scaling or oral prophylaxis. It is done by specific instruments named scalers, that are specifically designed for this task. It does not cause any damage to the tooth enamel.
Scaling is in fact a regular procedure and we advise all our patients to get aoral prophylaxis done every 6 months. It is very important to keep your teeth and gums clean in order to keep it healthy. Stains and calculus are not removed by brush. So once in a while it is necessary to go for a professional tooth cleaning procedure.
Is a gum treatment costly?
The cost for a gum treatment is case dependent. It actually depends on the type of procedure required. If you want to know any more about he cost for a gum treatment, feel free to contact us.
