Gum Disease (Periodontal) Treatment
Gum Disease (Periodontal) Treatment in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
At Bespoke Dental, we provide periodontal treatment for patients with gum disease and conditions affecting the supporting tissues of the teeth. Our dental team will assess your oral health and recommend suitable treatment options based on your dental condition and treatment needs.
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is a condition that affects the gums and the supporting structures of the teeth. It is commonly associated with plaque build-up around the teeth. In its early stage, known as gingivitis, symptoms may include bleeding or swollen gums. If the condition progresses to periodontitis, it may affect the bone and tissues supporting the teeth.
Early assessment allows your dentist to determine the condition of your gums and recommend appropriate treatment.
Signs You May Need Periodontal Treatment
You may wish to arrange a dental assessment if you notice:
- Bleeding while brushing or flossing
- Swollen or red gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession (gums pulling away from the teeth)
- Loose or sensitive teeth
Your dentist will examine your gums and determine whether periodontal treatment is appropriate.
Our Treatment Approach
Professional Dental Cleaning
Professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces and around the gum line as part of periodontal care.
Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical periodontal procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and cleans the root surfaces. Your dentist will determine whether this treatment is appropriate based on your clinical assessment.
Follow-Up Care
Follow-up appointments may be recommended to monitor your gum health and review your oral hygiene as part of your ongoing periodontal care.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Dental Assessment and Diagnosis
Your dentist will examine your gums and teeth and may recommend dental X-rays if additional assessment is required.
Personalised Treatment Planning
A treatment plan will be prepared based on your oral health condition, examination findings, and treatment needs.
