PERIODONTOLOGY

Gum diseases range from simple gingivitis to severe infections where the jaw bones melt and teeth are lost by shaking. One of the most important symptoms of gum disease is bleeding gums. The gums swell, redden, bleed, recede and cause bad breath.

The first stage of treatment is the removal of the dental plaque that causes the disease by the dentist with special tools. Scaling can be a treatment method alone in simple gingivitis. In advanced cases, periodontal surgery is required.
