Why Gum and Teeth Treatment is Necessary
Each tooth is surrounded by soft tissues that protect it from mechanical impacts, pathogenic bacteria, and acidity changes. The complex of tissues around the tooth and holding it in the alveolus, the tooth socket, is called the periodontium. With improper oral care, weakened immunity, and exposure to negative external factors, the condition of the periodontium deteriorates. Statistics show that the vast majority of people encounter periodontal diseases. If not treated in time, they can lead to serious complications and tooth loss. The pathology progresses, spreading to the peri-tooth tissues, weakening, and destroying them. Symptoms include:
- Redness, swelling, bleeding of the gums;
- Unpleasant breath;
- Painful sensations.

Indications and Contraindications for Gum Treatment
Gums need treatment when signs of disease are detected. Several pathologies occur more frequently than others:
- Gingivitis – characterized by gum enlargement, bleeding, pain syndrome, enamel darkening;
- Periodontitis – its signs are redness and swelling of the gums, tooth mobility, pain when biting;
- Stomatitis – an inflammatory process covering the oral cavity, resulting in blisters filled with clear fluid and ulcers;
Cyst – a formation with purulent content.
- Contraindications for gum treatment include:
- Blood clotting disorders;
- Complete atrophy of the bone tissue around the tooth;
Exacerbation of cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases.
- In some cases, treatment may be postponed during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Symptoms of Gum Inflammation
Symptoms are mostly noticeable, but many diseases can be asymptomatic in the early stages. If you notice any of the listed symptoms, be sure to make an appointment with a doctor. Main symptoms of gum diseases include:
- Redness, inflammation, especially if accompanied by pain on pressure;
- Swelling;
- Bleeding;
- Painful sensations;
- Itching;
- Increased sensitivity to cold and hot;
- Pus discharge from the gum;
- Tooth mobility;
- Exposure of the tooth root;
- Appearance of space between the root and gum;
- Increase in the depth of gum pockets;
- Unpleasant rotten smell from the mouth.
It is advisable to visit a dentist every 6 months for a preventive examination and timely detection of the onset of disease, making treatment faster and simpler.

What Gum Diseases We Treat at the Clinic
We treat a wide range of gum diseases, primarily gingivitis, periodontitis, and periodontosis.
- Gingivitis is an inflammatory disease affecting the upper layers of the gum, often occurring in children during teething and in youth. Main symptoms include swelling, itching, bleeding, and unpleasant breath. A common cause is bacteria proliferating in dental plaque, often due to insufficient oral hygiene. Other causes include systemic diseases, immunodeficiency, and hormonal disturbances.
- Periodontitis is inflammation of the peri-tooth ligaments, accompanied by pathological tooth mobility and the formation of deep gum pockets. It arises from dental calculus, smoking, and genetic predisposition. Main symptoms include itching, bleeding, swelling, and recession of the gingival margin, exposing the tooth.
Periodontosis progresses without visible gum inflammation, affecting the bone tissue of the alveolar ridge and tooth-gum connections. Key causes are systemic body disorders, such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, and endocrine pathologies, manifesting as gum tissue loss and tooth mobility.
For each disease, our clinic's doctors choose the optimal treatment method.
Treatment Methods for Gums
Do not try to solve the problem with home remedies. Consult a doctor. He will conduct an examination, prescribe diagnostics, and suggest an effective treatment strategy. Treatment methods in dentistry can be divided into two groups:
- Conservative;
Surgical.
- Conservative methods include:
- Medication therapy – aimed at stopping the spread of infection with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs;
- Closed curettage – cleaning of periodontal pockets with subsequent antiseptic treatment;
- Ultrasound therapy – removes hard deposits on the tooth surface, eliminates dental calculus under the gum;
Plasmolifting – an injection procedure that reduces bleeding and improves soft tissue regeneration.
Medication therapy often only relieves inflammation without addressing the disease's cause. In such cases, surgical intervention is required.
- Surgical methods for treating gums include:
- Open curettage – cleaning of tooth-gum pockets with incision of the gum flap for better visibility and access;
Gingivoplasty – a flap operation conducted to reduce the volume of gum tissue.
- In advanced cases of periodontitis or periodontosis, tooth extraction may be necessary. In this case, aesthetics and functionality of the dental arch are restored with implants.
Rehabilitation After Gum Treatment
Regardless of the chosen treatment, follow the doctor's recommendations post-treatment to reduce the rehabilitation period and avoid complications. Requirements include:
- Taking doctor-prescribed drugs – anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, painkillers;
- Regularly rinsing the mouth with herbal decoctions, antiseptic solutions;
- Using antibacterial and healing gels and ointments;
- Refraining from smoking, alcohol consumption, avoiding sweets;
- Daily brushing with a soft toothbrush;
- Following a balanced diet.
Minor swelling, pain, and redness after treatment are normal. If they do not subside on their own, intensify, inform your doctor.

Prevention of Gum Diseases
Gum diseases often develop in children and the elderly, but other age groups are not immune. Therefore, it's advisable to follow simple preventive measures at any age, including:
- Regular tooth brushing – at least twice a day;
- Tongue cleaning – it accumulates more bacteria than tooth enamel;
- Careful, thorough tooth brushing to avoid injuring the gingival margin, as such injuries can provoke periodontal diseases;
- Using an irrigator, mouthwash, dental floss to remove food particles from hard-to-reach places;
- Leading a healthy lifestyle, eating right, limiting smoking and alcohol consumption or abstaining altogether;
- Visiting a dentist twice a year for a preventive examination.
