Gum health is a crucial part of overall oral hygiene and plays a major role in maintaining strong, healthy teeth. Many people unknowingly suffer from gum problems such as bleeding gums, swelling, bad breath, gum recession, or sensitivity, which are often early signs of gum disease. If left untreated, these issues can progress and lead to serious complications, including tooth mobility and tooth loss.
Scaling and gum surgery are specialized dental treatments designed to prevent, manage, and treat gum disease at different stages. While scaling helps remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing cannot eliminate, gum surgery is recommended for advanced cases where infection has affected the deeper tissues and bone supporting the teeth.
Scaling is a professional deep-cleaning dental procedure used to remove plaque, tartar (calculus), and bacteria from the teeth surfaces and from below the gum line. These deposits cannot be removed by regular brushing or flossing. Scaling helps control gum infection, reduces inflammation, and prevents the progression of gum disease.
Gum surgery is an advanced dental treatment recommended when gum disease reaches a severe stage, known as periodontitis. In this condition, bacteria infect the gums and the bone supporting the teeth. Gum surgery helps clean deep gum pockets, remove infected tissue, and restore healthy gum attachment around the teeth. It also prevents further bone loss and tooth loosening.
Scaling and gum surgery are effective treatments designed to remove infection, improve gum health, and prevent tooth loss caused by gum disease.
The dentist examines your teeth and gums to assess gum health. Gum pocket depth is measured, and X-rays may be taken to check bone loss and infection severity.
Plaque and tartar are carefully removed from the tooth surface and from below the gum line using advanced dental instruments. This helps eliminate bacteria and reduce gum inflammation.
The tooth roots are smoothed to prevent further plaque buildup and to help the gums reattach firmly to the teeth.
If gum disease is severe, gum surgery is performed under local anesthesia. Infected gum tissue is cleaned, deep pockets are reduced, and damaged areas are treated. Laser treatment or grafting may be used when needed.
After the procedure, medications and oral care instructions are provided. Regular follow-ups ensure proper healing and long-term gum health.
