Gum Treatments

Gum treatments are the elimination of various diseases applied due to improper oral care. Gums are structures that keep the teeth stable in the mouth and provide a visually perfect tooth structure. For this reason, it should be known that any problem that can be seen in the gums will adversely affect the dental health.

What are Gum Diseases?

Gum diseases are caused by soft tissues that accumulate between the teeth and cause even more serious problems when oral care is not performed. Gum problems caused by inflammation and bone resorption caused by bacteria occur due to the first dental plaque. This condition, which causes gingival problems to become more complex, must be treated. Otherwise, it is possible to see problems up to tooth loss.

While gingival diseases occur for various reasons as stated above, they are generally seen as simple gingivitis and severe infections. In simple inflammations, gingival bleeding usually occurs, while in severe infections, swelling, redness and bleeding are possible. One of the most obvious symptoms of infections is bad odor in the mouth.
