Gum Treatment (Periodontics)
Treat gingivitis and periodontitis to stop bleeding gums, reduce pocket depth, and protect the bone supporting your teeth. Essential foundation before cosmetic or implant work.
When Is Gum Treatment Recommended?
Our Istanbul clinicians assess each tooth and gum condition individually before recommending treatment.
What to Expect During Treatment
Periodontal Assessment
Pocket depth measurement, bleeding scores, and X-rays evaluate gum and bone health.
Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
Bacterial deposits removed from tooth roots under local anaesthesia.
Antimicrobial Support
Targeted rinses or local antibiotics when clinically indicated.
Maintenance Programme
Review appointments and hygiene coaching to stabilise gum health long term.
Recovery & Aftercare
Gums may feel tender for a few days after deep cleaning. Consistent home care is essential to maintain results.
- Use a soft brush and interdental cleaning daily
- Avoid smoking, which impairs healing
- Attend periodontal maintenance as scheduled
- Report persistent bleeding promptly
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?
Gingivitis affects gums only and is reversible. Periodontitis involves bone loss and requires ongoing management.
Is gum treatment painful?
Deep cleaning is performed under local anaesthesia. Mild soreness afterward is normal.
Can gum disease be cured?
Gingivitis can be reversed. Periodontitis is controlled and maintained rather than cured outright.
Why treat gums before implants?
Healthy gums and stable bone are essential for implant success and long-term aesthetics.
How often are maintenance visits needed?
Typically every three to six months depending on disease severity and response to treatment.
