Strong, healthy gums keep your teeth in place and make your smile strong. When gum health declines, it can impact the overall quality of life. At this stage, Periodontics can help you. At Aster CMI Hospital, our experienced specialists are here to support you with advanced treatments. We also offer personalised care that truly puts you first.
What is Periodontitis?
Periodontitis is an oral health condition that causes sore, bleeding, swollen gums. It starts with gingivitis and quickly turns into a serious disease when left untreated. Periodontitis can even lead to tooth loss as it progresses. It can be treated with the right care at the right time. At Aster CMI hospital, our experts identify the early signs of trouble and provide the best treatment.
Periodontitis symptoms to look for
Some common periodontitis symptoms include:
- Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing
- Swollen, tender, or bright red gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums or teeth that look longer
- Pain while chewing
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Formation of deep pockets between teeth and gums
Recognising these symptoms early can prevent more serious damage. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, consult a periodontist.
What Causes Peridontitis?
There is no single cause. But poor oral hygiene triggers it. Some other causes of periodontitis include:
- Smoking or tobacco use
- Hormonal changes
- Medical conditions, including diabetes
- Certain medications that affect the saliva flow
- Genetics
- Poor hygiene
The key to prevention includes:
- Brush and floss daily
- Avoid tobacco
- Eat a balanced diet
- Get regular dental checkups
Treatment Options for Periodontal Disease at Aster CMI Hospital
At Aster CMI Hospital, we offer:
1. Non-surgical treatments
In the early stages, gum disease can be managed by professional cleaning procedures, including:
- Scaling and Root Planing: To treat gum disease. It involves deep cleaning below the gumline.
2. Surgical treatments
If the disease has advanced, we offer surgical options including:
- Flap Surgery / Furcation Treatment: To eliminate or reduce the pocket itself. Pockets are areas below the gumline where gum tissue has detached from the teeth.
- Bone Grafting: To replace the lost bone tissue and encourage natural bone growth.
- Ridge Augmentation: To help recreate the natural contours of the gums and jaw that may have been lost.
- Crown Lengthening: To reshape the gum tissue. It allows the teeth that appear shorter to look longer.
- Gummy Smile Correction / Aesthetic Periodontal Procedures: To remove excess gum tissue and reshape the gum line.
- Depigmentation: To remove the pigmented layer of the gingiva.
- Frenectomy: To surgically remove the frenum.
- Gingivectomy: To remove or reshape the loose, diseased gum tissue.
- Free Gingival Grafts / Connective Tissue Grafts: To treat gum recession. It also helps improve your oral health.
- Treatment of Peri-Implant Diseases: To arrest the inflammatory process within the peri-implant tissues.
Our experts offer a full range of periodontal treatments from basic to advanced care.
Periodontal Surgery
When other nonsurgical methods aren’t enough, periodontal surgery may be recommended. It helps clean affected areas and reduce the gum pocket depth. The procedure also encourages the healing of bone and tissue. At Aster CMI Hospital, our experts use modern techniques and a gentle approach. It helps restore oral health effectively and comfortably.
