Periodontal and Gum Treatment
Periodontal and Gum Treatment in Thomson, Singapore
Healthy gums are the foundation of a beautiful and functional smile. Periodontal (gum) disease is one of the most common dental problems affecting adults worldwide. At Dental Clinic Thomson, we provide advanced periodontal and gum treatments to restore gum health, prevent tooth loss and enhance your oral well-being.
What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth caused by plaque buildup, bacteria and poor oral hygiene. If left untreated, it can progress from gingivitis (mild inflammation) to periodontitis, leading to gum recession, bone loss and eventually tooth loss.
Common symptoms include:
✔️ Swollen, red or bleeding gums
✔️ Persistent bad breath (halitosis)
✔️ Gum recession exposing tooth roots
✔️ Loose or shifting teeth
✔️ Pain while chewing
Who Needs Periodontal and Gum Treatment?
Periodontal treatment is recommended for individuals who:
✔️ Have bleeding or sensitive gums
✔️ Notice gum recession or loose teeth
✔️ Have persistent bad breath
✔️ Have a family history of gum disease
✔️ Want to prevent tooth loss and maintain oral health
Early intervention can save teeth, prevent bone loss and improve overall oral health.
Types of Periodontal and Gum Treatments
At Dental Clinic Thomson, we offer a range of treatments based on the severity of gum disease:
Non-Surgical Treatments
These are effective for early-stage gum disease (gingivitis and mild periodontitis):
Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning): Removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line to prevent bacterial growth.
Antimicrobial Therapy: Application of antibiotics to reduce infection-causing bacteria.
Laser Gum Therapy: Minimally invasive technique to remove diseased tissue and promote healing.
Surgical Treatments
For advanced periodontitis, surgical intervention may be required:
Flap Surgery (Pocket Reduction Surgery): Lifts gums to clean deep pockets and reshape gum tissue.
Bone Grafting: Replaces lost bone to support teeth affected by gum disease.
Soft Tissue Grafting: Restores gum tissue in areas of significant recession.
Guided Tissue Regeneration: Promotes natural regrowth of bone and gum tissue.
Maintenance Therapy
Ongoing care is essential for long-term success:
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings
Customized oral hygiene plans
Lifestyle guidance (quit smoking, diet improvements)
