❗ What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting your teeth. It starts as gingivitis (swollen, bleeding gums) and can progress to periodontitis, which may lead to tooth loss if left untreated.
🚩 Signs You May Need Periodontal Therapy
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Pain while chewing
- Pus between teeth and gums
🛠️ What Is Periodontal Therapy?
Periodontal therapy includes non-surgical and surgical treatments designed to remove infection, reduce inflammation, and prevent further damage.
🔍 Types of Periodontal Treatments at Shifa Dental
- Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
Removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces to help gums reattach. - Laser Gum Therapy
Minimally invasive, targets and kills bacteria while promoting tissue healing. - Antibiotic Therapy
Localized antibiotics may be applied directly to infected areas for enhanced healing. - Maintenance Cleanings
After active treatment, regular cleanings (every 3–4 months) help prevent recurrence.
