Periodontics
Gum disease, also known as periodontics, is the leading cause of tooth loss and the need for dentures. Initially, gingivitis and periodontitis can lead to gum inflammation, receding gums, loose teeth, and ultimately, tooth loss if not properly addressed. Prevention through early detection and treatment is key to stopping its progression. The treatment options range from regular scaling to open flap debridement, aiming to eliminate harmful calculus and plaque and reduce the amount of harmful bacteria in the mouth.

Scaling
Scaling
Supra Gingival Scaling: We perform Supra Gingival Scaling to remove calculus above the gum line and attached to tooth surfaces. We use piezoelectric and ultrasonic scalers to minimize discomfort and achieve optimal results. Regular dental checkups and proper teeth cleaning habits are essential to keep gums healthy and reduce gingivitis.
Sub Gingival Scaling: Our experts in periodontics in Pathanamthitta remove calculus below the gum line using manual or mechanical methods for patients with mild to moderate gum disease.
Open Flap Debridement
Gum disease can lead to bone and gum attachment loss, causing teeth to loosen. We address this by opening the affected area, performing debridement, and then carrying out bone grafting and placing PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) to improve bone healing and achieve the best possible results. This treatment makes existing natural teeth healthier and longer-lasting.
Aesthetic Gum Treatment
This treatment focuses on improving smile appearance by addressing issues such as excessive gum tissue, uneven gum lines, or receding gums. Our center for periodontics in Pathanamthitta provides gum reshaping and depigmentation using traditional methods and radiofrequency (RF) cautery to enhance the overall aesthetics of the smile.
Crown Lengthening
After minor gum surgery and osteoplasty, our endodontist and periodontist work together to rebuild the remaining tooth structure using a post and core. This allows us to save the natural tooth, avoid extraction, and get a crown. Cheers!
