Gum Care

Gum Care

Gum care, also known as periodontal care, encompasses a range of treatments and procedures aimed at maintaining the health of your gums and the supporting structures of your teeth. Here’s a comprehensive overview of what comes under gum care:

Preventive Gum Care

  • Professional cleanings: Regular dental cleanings to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria.
  • Oral hygiene instructions: Personalized guidance on proper brushing, flossing, and interdental cleaning techniques.
  • Gum disease screening: Regular evaluations to detect early signs of gum disease.

Non-Surgical Gum Care

  • Scaling and root planing: Deep cleaning procedures to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gum line.
  • Antimicrobial therapy: Application of antibiotics or antimicrobial mouthwashes to control bacterial growth.
  • Host modulation therapy (HMT): Medications that help regulate the body's response to gum disease. Includes local drug delivery as part of HMT

Maintenance and Follow-Up

  • Regular follow-up appointments: Scheduled appointments to monitor gum health and adjust treatment plans as needed.
  • Gum disease management: Ongoing care to manage gum disease and prevent progression.
  • Oral hygiene reinforcement: Regular reinforcement of proper oral hygiene techniques to maintain gum health.

By incorporating these various aspects of gum care, you can help maintain healthy gums, prevent gum disease, and ensure a beautiful, confident smile!
