Gum treatment comprises a series of clinical procedures aimed at maintaining the health of the soft tissues surrounding the teeth and treating their diseases. Gums are of great importance not only aesthetically but also for supporting the teeth. Gum diseases that are not treated in time may lead to tooth loss and jawbone resorption.
Characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums.
Dental plaque accumulation is the main cause.
If diagnosed early, it is completely treatable.
Occurs when gingivitis is left untreated.
The jawbone is affected along with the gums.
Teeth may become mobile and be lost.
May require advanced treatment and surgical intervention.
Insufficient oral hygiene
Smoking
Genetic predisposition
Diabetes and hormonal disorders
Stress
Incorrectly made prostheses and fillings
Teeth grinding (bruxism)
Bleeding gums during brushing or spontaneously
Bad breath (halitosis)

Follow‑up visits and supportive care
The treatment duration varies according to the severity of the disease, but is generally completed in 1 to 3 sessions.
✔ Is gum treatment painful?
No. Procedures are performed under local anesthesia. Mild discomfort may occur after treatment but is temporary.
✔ Can gum recession be treated?
Yes. It can be stopped in the early stages. If necessary, it can be treated with soft tissue grafts.
✔ Do gum diseases cause tooth loss?
Yes. If left untreated, the bone tissue holding the teeth resorbs and the teeth may loosen and fall out.
✔ Will the teeth be sensitive after gum treatment?
Temporary sensitivity may occur but will diminish over time. Special desensitizing products can be used.
