Advanced gum treatment focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating severe gum diseases (periodontal diseases) to restore oral health and prevent tooth loss. These treatments go beyond basic cleanings to target deep-seated infections and damaged tissues.

When is Advanced Gum Treatment Needed?

🔹 Bleeding, swollen, or receding gums
🔹 Persistent bad breath or loose teeth
🔹 Gum infections or abscess formation
🔹 Deep pockets between teeth and gums

Types of Advanced Gum Treatments:

1. Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

✔ Removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline.
✔ Smoothens root surfaces to prevent bacterial buildup.
✔ Helps in the early stages of gum disease (gingivitis & mild periodontitis).

2. Laser Gum Therapy

✔ Uses laser technology to remove infected tissue painlessly.
✔ Promotes faster healing and reduces discomfort.
✔ Minimally invasive with less bleeding.

3. Gum Grafting

✔ Treats gum recession by using tissue grafts.
✔ Restores lost gum tissue to protect tooth roots.
✔ Improves the aesthetics of the smile.

4. Periodontal Surgery (Flap Surgery)

✔ Used for advanced periodontitis cases.
✔ Lifts gums to clean deep pockets and reattach tissue.
✔ Prevents further gum and bone loss.

5. Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR)

✔ Stimulates the regrowth of lost bone and gum tissue.
✔ Helps in severe cases where tooth-supporting structures are damaged.

Benefits of Advanced Gum Treatment:

✔ Prevents tooth loss and restores gum health.
✔ Reduces gum recession and sensitivity.
✔ Enhances overall oral hygiene and freshens breath.
✔ Provides long-term protection against periodontal diseases.
