    Symptoms of gum disease

    Gum disease can manifest with many symptoms that need to be recognised in time to start treatment. Here are the most common signs to look out for:

    Bleeding when brushing teeth

    One of the first signs of gum disease is bleeding during normal hygiene procedures. If you notice blood when brushing or flossing, it could be a signal that inflammation is beginning.

    Change in the colour of the gums

    Healthy gums are usually pale pink in colour. Redness, dark red or purple hues may indicate inflammation.

    Swelling and soreness of the gums

    Gums that are swollen and painful to touch are often signs of gingivitis or periodontitis.

    Bad breath

    Chronic bad odour that doesn't go away after brushing your teeth can be caused by a buildup of bacteria under inflamed gums.

    Tartar formation

    A buildup of hard tartar at the tooth-gum interface can contribute to inflammation.

    Spaces between teeth

    The formation of new gaps between teeth can be a sign of bone loss caused by periodontal disease.

    Food getting stuck between the teeth

    Increased gaps between teeth can cause food to get stuck frequently, increasing the risk of inflammation.

    The main causes of the disease

    • Poor oral hygiene

    • Genetic disposition

    • Poor nutrition

    • Chronic diseases

    • Smoking

    • Chronic stress

    • Hormonal changes

    • Aggressive brushing

    Gum disease

    Gingivitis
    This is an inflammatory gum disease that is usually caused by a buildup of plaque, a soft bacterial layer that forms on the teeth around the gum line. If it is not removed regularly, the bacteria begins to multiply, causing inflammation and irritation of the gums. The main factors that contribute to gingivitis include poor oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes, certain medications, reduced immunity, stress, and genetic predisposition.

    Periodontitis
    Periodontitis is an advanced stage of gum disease that affects not only the gums but also the supporting structures of the teeth, including the alveolar bone and periodontal ligaments. This disease develops from untreated gingivitis when inflammation penetrates deeper under the gum pockets, destroying the supporting tissues and bone. The causes are similar to gingivitis, but the consequences are more serious due to the deep inflammation.

    Treatment methods

    Curettage (SRP - Scaling and Root Planing)

    This is the standard process used to treat periodontal disease. The procedure involves thoroughly cleaning the roots of the teeth to remove tartar and smoothing the roots to reduce gum inflammation and aid in tissue healing.

    Perio Flow

    This is a modern technique for deep gum pocket cleaning, using a specialized device that gently cleans tooth roots and gum pockets with a stream of water mixed with fine powder. This method is effective in removing soft plaque and bacteria from deep pockets, helping to reduce inflammation and improve gum health.

    Deep hygiene

    Deep gum cleaning involves removing plaque and calculus not only from the visible surfaces of the teeth, but also from under the gum margins. This process usually consists of scaling (removing plaque and calculus) and root planning (smoothing the roots of the teeth to prevent plaque from building up again).

    Closure of gingival recession

    This method involves surgical correction in which gum tissue is moved or restored to cover the exposed tooth roots. This procedure not only improves the aesthetics of the smile, but also protects the roots of the teeth from external stimuli, reducing sensitivity and the risk of tooth decay.

    Open / closed curettage

    Open curettage involves surgically opening the gum pocket to better access and clean the roots of the teeth. Closed curettage is performed without incisions, using special instruments to clean under the gums. Both methods aim to reduce the depth of gum pockets and improve gum health.

    The basic process of treatment


    01

    Deep multistage oral hygiene

    This process involves thoroughly removing plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth and sub-gingival pockets. Special mechanical cleaning tools are used to help restore gum health.

    02

    Cleaning of roots and implants with Airflow Prophylaxis Master

    A procedure that uses modern equipment to effectively and gently remove soft and hard deposits and staining from the surface of teeth and implants. Airflow technology provides fast and comfortable treatment, significantly reducing the risk of gum trauma.

    03

    Perio Flow - delicate powder delivery for root cleansing

    Specialized technique for deep cleaning of periodontal pockets. Perio Flow uses a fine powder that is pressurized and effectively removes biofilm and tartar in hard-to-reach areas without damaging the tissue.

    04

    Surgical treatment of gum diseases

    In cases of advanced forms of periodontitis, surgical intervention may be required. Surgery is aimed at removing deep-seated tartar, correcting gum defects and restoring lost bone tissue.

    05

    Supportive treatment and prevention

    After the main course of treatment, patients are recommended regular professional maintenance and strict adherence to home care. Regular check-ups and cleanings help to maintain the results achieved and prevent recurrence of the disease.

    "I am afraid of dentists and everything related to dental treatment. But I can confidently say that after 10 years of living in the UAE, I have finally found my dentist. I've had dental hygiene done, and am currently treating my teeth, having visited twice already. Among the perks is a large TV on the ceiling; you can get absorbed in YouTube or even watch a movie, which is cool as it distracts me and eases my anxiety. Once I'm done with my dental treatment, I'll also work with an orthodontist."

    "I’ve done braces, 4 implants and 28 porcelain veneers and crowns with the 1M1 colour. So I trusted my full mouth to this dentist clinic and haven’t regretted at all! The owner Lilia is just adorable. She is very patient, attentive and friendly. All people that work at clinic are also very nice and patient even with this kind of person as me, who always asks so many questions about everything. I’m totally happy with the work that they’ve done and now my husband and his parents are also doing the whole mouth work there! Always happy to recommend DentalDate!"
