Dr Anju P Consultant periodontal surgeon, implantologist and laser specialist. Starcare Hospital, a Dental Hospital in Kozhikode, specialises in treating gum disease. It causes bleeding, a bad smell in the mouth, and a gap between the teeth caused by unhygienic tooth care, plaque deposits, and calculus. These bacterial deposits may lead to aggressive periodontitis, especially in young age groups below 18. Periodontium is caused by diabetes, smoking and vitamin D deficiency. There's a two-way relationship between diabetes and gum disease. Diabetes that is not controlled well leads to higher blood sugar levels in the mouth fluids. This promotes the growth of bacteria that cause gum disease. If left untreated, it may cause the blood sugar to rise and make it harder to control diabetes.

Our Dentist prefers Flap Surgery to perform the procedures at the root of the tooth and the bone. This procedure involves separating the gum from the teeth, allowing the dentist to have control over the complete visibility during the procedure, resulting in increased treatment and surgical effectiveness. Our dentist prefers this treatment method for treating periodontal damage.

A serious gum infection that damages gums and can destroy the jawbone is called periodontitis, caused by poor oral hygiene. It can lead to tooth loss. It's a risk factor for heart and lung diseases. Red, swollen, and feeling weak gum tissues are common symptoms of periodontitis. During Dental Treatment, the pockets around the teeth are cleaned by an oral surgeon to protect the surrounding bone.

Our Dentists suggest surgery for patients suffering from advanced cases. Tooth cleaning, polishing and oral hygiene are very important. Periodontal treatment can reduce infection and rebuild your bone and tissue to some degree.

Signs of serious gum disease

Bad breath, swollen gums, bleeding gums, painful chewing, loose teeth, sensitive teeth. You can do self-care at home by brushing your teeth at least twice daily. Replace your toothbrush every three months and visit your dentist at least once a year.

Five Stages Of Gum Disease

• Gingivitis: Compared to periodontitis, this is the beginning phase of gum disease. Your gums will get red and swell up when you suffer from gingivitis. However, at this stage, you won't experience any bone loss around your teeth.
• Mild Periodontitis: Prolonged gingivitis may progress to early periodontitis. There is bone loss around the teeth, and the gums have begun to erode. The result is the accumulation of plaque, tartar, and bacteria in areas your toothbrush fails to contact.
• Moderate Periodontitis: As periodontitis develops, you lose even more bone around the teeth. Your gums become sore and tender.
• Severe Periodontitis: The disease becomes more severe when periodontitis is left untreated. Gums will bleed, and there's often pus and infection around the gum line, leading to chronic bad breath.
• Advanced Periodontitis: This infection impacts the jawbone so that teeth may be lost. You might have experienced persistent pain.

For patients who are afraid of surgeries, laser treatment is done to remove infections. At Starcare Hospital, our dentists are trained to offer dental laser treatment, which is opted for by the patient according to the type of surgery they are interested in opt-in for.
