Periodontal Treatment
We fundamentally treat gum disease to maintain healthy oral cavity
What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disease that occurs in the gums (gingiva) and tissues surrounding the teeth (periodontal tissues).
It is a disease where gums swell, bleed, and in severe cases, teeth are lost due to bacterial toxins and inflammatory reactions.
Main Causes
Dental plaque, tartar, smoking, genetic factors
Risks
Tooth loss if left untreated, association with systemic diseases
Treatability
Complete cure possible with early detection, regular management required
Periodontal Disease Progression Stages
Check symptoms and treatments by stage
Gingivitis
Stage 1Inflammation limited to gums only
Main Symptoms
- Gum bleeding
- Gum swelling
- Gum redness
- Bad breath
Treatment Method
Complete cure possible with accurate brushing and scaling
Mild Periodontitis
Stage 2Stage where minor damage to alveolar bone begins
Main Symptoms
- Persistent gum bleeding
- Gum recession
- Slight tooth mobility
- Pocket depth 3-4mm
Treatment Method
Root planing and regular management
Moderate Periodontitis
Stage 3Stage where alveolar bone loss progresses
Main Symptoms
- Severe gum recession
- Tooth migration
- Pocket depth 5-7mm
- Pus formation
Treatment Method
Periodontal surgery and intensive treatment
Severe Periodontitis
Stage 4Stage where alveolar bone is severely destroyed
Main Symptoms
- Severe tooth mobility
- Tooth loss
- Pocket depth 8mm or more
- Severe bad breath
Treatment Method
Regenerative surgery or extraction followed by implant
Periodontal Treatment Methods
Appropriate treatment methods are selected according to patient condition
Non-Surgical Treatment
Effective for early to mid-stage periodontal disease
Surgical Treatment
Applied to moderate to severe periodontal disease
Maintenance Treatment
Lifelong management essential after treatment
Periodontal Treatment Process
We provide optimal results with systematic and step-by-step treatment process
Precise Examination
Stage 1Periodontal pocket depth measurement, X-ray imaging, bacterial examination
Initial Treatment
Stage 2Removal of plaque and tartar through scaling and root planing
Re-evaluation
Stage 3Confirm treatment effectiveness, establish additional treatment plan
Secondary Treatment
Stage 4Proceed with periodontal surgery, regenerative surgery if necessary
Maintenance
Stage 5Regular checkups and management (lifelong)
Periodontal Disease Prevention Methods
Periodontal disease can be prevented with proper oral care and lifestyle habits
Proper Brushing
3 times a day, within 3 minutes after meals, for more than 3 minutes
Interdental Cleaning
Clean between teeth with dental floss and interdental brushes
No Smoking
Smoking is a major cause of periodontal disease
Regular Checkups
Regular dental checkups every 6 months
Balanced Diet
Consume foods rich in vitamin C and calcium
Mouthwash Use
Use mouthwash with antimicrobial ingredients
🎯 Prevention is the best treatment
Regular checkups and proper oral care habits are the most effective ways to prevent periodontal disease.
