Bleeding gums: latest treatment

Gum disease is due to infection of tissue and bone surrounding the tooth. The infection is mostly caused due to improper dental care. Gum disease is known as Gingivitis, when it is very mild infection with symptoms - gums becoming red, bleeding in the gums, and swollen gums. The plaque formed due to infection has to be removed by proper oral cleaning- regular brushing and flossing. If this is not done and treated in time it will affect the gum tissue deeper forming packets around the tooth which affects the bone supporting the tooth. This leads to loosening of tooth. Cleaning of the plaque from the affected region also becomes difficult as it will not be visible to clean with instruments. The deeper regions can be cleaned only after surgery to remove the gum tissue opening the pockets formed due to Gingivitis. This stage of the Gingivitis when severe is called Periodontitis.

Openings of the gums had been the only way to treat the Periodontitis. This procedure called periodontal surgery .The modern and the most advanced laser treatment from Dentist & Dontist Dental Clinic is painless and effective. Lasers directly focus light on the affected gum tissue in the deep pockets. Lasers remove the damaged tissue and kill the bacteria residing in the affected gum tissue. Thin layer of bacterial residual is thoroughly removed so that the healing process is quicker with bio-compatible environment in the treated part. Lasers has proven ability to close the open blood vessels and cells resulting in reduced swelling and less postoperative discomfort. In fact this treatment activates local blood circulation also enhancing the speed of recovery. There is no pain or trauma during the treatment or after. Laser treatment for gums is safe and also healing of the soft gum-tissue is faster.
