Gum Diseases

Dental Calculus Cleaning

  • It is the removal of plaque and tartar buildup on teeth from the tooth surface using special tools.
  • It also helps remove discoloration on teeth caused by factors such as tea, coffee, and cigarettes.
  • If dental calculus, the most significant cause of gum disease, is not removed from the tooth surface, it progresses insidiously, leading to bone loss and loosening of the teeth, ultimately resulting in tooth loss.

Subgingival Curettage

  • In the presence of long-term gum disease, tartar also begins to appear on the root surfaces.
  • This situation requires cleaning the root surfaces under local anesthesia.
  • Otherwise, bone loss accelerates, leading to tooth loss.

Gingivectomy

  • When the gums cover the tooth surfaces, the teeth appear much shorter than they actually are.
  • Excess gum tissue is removed using surgical or laser methods to create an aesthetically pleasing smile.
