Looking for Gingivitis Solutions in Ghatkopar East, Mumbai?

The benefits of the gingivitis treatment is as follows:

1. If gingivitis is treated in time, it does not lead to periodontitis which is a serious condition of the gums and underlying bone and very difficult to treat and cannot be reversed.
2. Gingivitis treatment in time reduces the bacterial load and rids your gums from infection which causes bleeding and swelling. 
3. If Scaling is done every 6 months, your gums become stronger and resistant to future gingivitis infections
4. Strong gums mean strong teeth.
5. Your bad breath issues disappear when your gum infection levels go down.
6. The supporting bone under the gums remains strong and healthy.

Dental scaling and polishing is the gold standard treatment of mild to moderate gingivitis. In cases of severe gingivitis, a more aggressive line of treatment is done to get the infection levels under control.

• SCALING AND ROOT PLANING: Scaling removes the plaque and tartar deposits above the gum line and reverses gum swelling with the use of an ultrasonic scaler. Root planning is done using sharp hand scalers which reach below the gum level and scrape away the tartar deposits stuck to the root part along with the unhealthy outer layer of the root leaving behind a healthy root surface that is ready to attach to the gums again.
• CURETTAGE: This is a minor surgical procedure done under local anesthesia. This is nothing but scraping and cutting away the inner unhealthy layer of the gum pocket to encourage bleeding which helps the newly denuded layer of the underlying gums to reattach to the root surface. This surgical area is then covered with a palliative medicinal dressing and enough time is given to the gums to reattach.
• GINGIVAL FLAP SURGERY: This is again a minor surgical procedure done under local anesthesia. The gums are surgically separated from the roots to clear away the unhealthy outer layer of the root and repair the bone damage. The gums are then stitched back and the area is covered with a medicinal palliative dressing to promote healthy healing. 
• BONE GRAFTS: In severe gingivitis, the supporting bone is damaged and eaten away by the underlying infection. In this procedure, the gums tissue is surgically cut to reveal the underlying bone. Bone powder mixed with sterile saline is placed in the damaged area and this mixture is covered by a collagen membrane. The gums are then placed back and stitched. The collagen membrane provides the necessary fiber to the bone powder which seals with the damaged bone and hardens. This surgery helps to reverse the damage caused by severe gingivitis and increases the lifespan of the teeth which would have become loose and fallen off if left untreated.
