WHAT IS PYORRHEA OR GUM DISEASE:
The bacteria and food debris in your mouth forms initially into soft plaque and then into hard tartar. The bacterial toxins that are released destroy your gums and eventually your bone. They create small pockets or spaces between your gums and teeth where food gets stuck and the bacteria keep increasing. After sometime bone loss increases causing loosening of teeth and eventually the teeth fall off or have to be removed. As the gums diseases rarely develop pain and discomfort, people usually ignore its presence in their mouth, but being a silent killer, periodontal disease is going to damage the gums and teeth irreversibly. Regular checkup with our specialist Periodontist can keep you away from developing periodontal diseases.
Yes, Gum Problems are Preventable and Treatable...
1. Nonsurgical treatment:
The first step in getting your gum disease or pyorrhea treated is getting your teeth cleaned. This process is called Scaling and Polishing or Nonsurgical treatment. The severity of your gum disease decides the number of appointments that will be required for teeth cleaning. It is a very skillful procedure, though it appears simple because it requires meticulously removing all the tartar and plaque present. The very basis of your treatment outcome for your gum disease depends on how well teeth cleaning has been done.
JUST SMILE DENTAL CLINIC recommend to get your scaling done by a gum specialist or Periodontist only. Usually multiple appointments of teeth cleaning are scheduled at an interval of 4 to 7 days. The next phase of treatment after scaling is done begins after 10 to15 days, as this time is required for healing to take place in your gums. At JUST SMILE DENTAL CLINIC we use the latest piezoelectric, ultrasonic technology by Acteon from France for your teeth cleaning. This ensures your teeth are not damaged and your gums stay safe and healthy.
2. Deep Cleaning and Deep Curettage:
At JUST SMILE DENTAL CLINIC cases which are having more infection in the gums that is not getting resolved with only teeth cleaning, but does not need surgical intervention, such cases are treated with deep cleaning and deep curettage. In this, the specialist anesthetizes the gums and cleans all the infection below the gum line, going deep upto the bone level. Then Curettes are used to remove and scrap off the infected tissue lining and the patients are placed on specific antibiotics which are used only to treat periodontal or gum diseases.
This method provides excellent healing. In which cases this is done is decide by our specialist based on your tissue response.
3. Antibiotic treatment:
At JUST SMILE CLINIC, we also provide systemic and locally delivered antibiotic treatment for pyorrhea or gum disease. The locally delivered antibiotic is placed in the pockets between your gums and teeth. They help to reduce the bacterial toxins and also alter our body's immune response and improve healing. The chip is compatible to your tissues and dissolves on its own. Depending on the case, our specialists decide when to give and which antibiotic to give.
The locally given antibiotics provide much higher concentration of medication at the diseased site without being absorbed systemically. Hence they provide better results without any systemic side effects associated with antibiotics that you may have heard. The antibiotics are specific drugs that are used to treat periodontal or gum diseases.

Either a resin fibre splint or a stainless steel braided wire splint with composite resin is provided. The splint provided by our specialist doctors are all done with tooth colored materials to give maximum possible aesthetic outcome.

6. Surgical Treatment:
At JUST SMILE DENTAL CLINIC all our Periodontists provide a variety of surgical procedures. The need for surgical treatment is decided after a few weeks of healing time. The surgical treatment is called Flap surgery. Flap surgery is the procedure done after teeth cleaning is completed. Here, we open the gums and remove all the infection from the bone using special instruments called curettes and then sutures are placed. All the curettes used are from Hu-Friedy Company which is the leading, number one and best brand in the world from America.
The infected pocket lining is remove and the area is irrigated with medications after cleaning all infection. We also provide the option of Regenerative Periodontics, if it is possible in your case. Here we try and regenerate your lost bone with the best materials available. Flap surgery also involves removing some infected bone if it is present in your case.
This is called Periodontal Osseous Surgery. After sutures are placed the healing occurs over a period of few months. The sutures are removed after one week during follow up visit. Flap surgery is the most basic and important gum treatment which is required to save your teeth. It does not cause loosening of your teeth.
The loosening which sometimes you might feel is normal and reversible. It is due to the healing process that initiates within your gums. In some advanced cases it is due to the lost support of gums and bone due the disease and not due to surgery. So, we strongly advice and recommend flap surgery in cases which require them.
7. Aesthetic Procedures:
We provide crown lengthening, gingivectomy, frenectomy and zenith correction procedures also. Crown lengthening is the procedure done to increase the height of your teeth when it is not sufficient for restoration with crown or bridge.

The biggest problem with gum disease is lost gums. The receding gums cause sensitivity, plaque accumulation, pyorrhea, tooth decay, and loosening of teeth. Therefore the need to get your exposed teeth covered back with gums is very important. The procedure is very sensitive and is done only by a trained Periodontist.
