GUM CARE & TREATMENT – HEALTHY GUMS, HEALTHY SMILE

Your gums are the foundation of your teeth, and their health is crucial for maintaining a strong, beautiful smile. Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss, and if left untreated, it can also affect overall health. At Braces & Faces Dental Clinic, we offer specialized gum treatments to ensure your gums stay healthy and infection-free.

Gum Disease Treatment (Gingivitis & Periodontitis)

• Gingivitis: The early stage of gum disease, causing red, swollen, and bleeding gums. If treated early, it is completely reversible.
• Periodontitis: An advanced stage where gums pull away from teeth, leading to bone loss and potential tooth loss if untreated.

Treatment Includes

• ✅ Professional cleaning to remove plaque & tartar.
• ✅ Medications & antibiotic therapy to control infection.
• ✅ Personalized oral hygiene guidance for long-term gum health.

Deep Cleaning & Root Planning (Scaling & Root Planning)

• A non-surgical procedure that removes bacteria, plaque, and tartar from below the gum line.
• Why it’s needed:
• ✅ Prevents infection from spreading deeper into the gums.
• ✅ Reduces gum inflammation & bleeding.
• ✅ Promotes gum reattachment to teeth, preventing tooth loss.

Gum Recontouring (Gum Reshaping)

• A cosmetic procedure to reshape and remove excess gum tissue, creating a more symmetrical and attractive smile.
  Best for patients with:
  ✅ A “gummy smile” where excess gum covers the teeth.
  ✅ Uneven gum lines affecting smile aesthetics. ✅ Receding gums that make teeth look longer than normal.
