Understanding Gum Treatment

Gum treatment encompasses a range of procedures designed to address gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) and other gum-related issues. Dr. Manali Sheth emphasizes the importance of early intervention to prevent complications such as tooth loss and systemic health problems.

Common Gum Issues

At Monarch Dental Clinic, Dr. Sheth treats various gum issues, including:

Gingivitis: Early stage gum disease characterized by inflammation and bleeding gums.

Periodontitis: Advanced gum disease involving loss of gum attachment and bone support around the teeth.

Gum Recession: Exposing tooth roots due to gum tissue loss, often leading to sensitivity and aesthetic concerns.

Treatment Approaches

Dr. Manali Sheth utilizes personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's specific needs. These may include:

Professional Dental Cleaning: Removal of plaque and tartar buildup to prevent gum inflammation.

Scaling and Root Planing: Deep cleaning to remove bacteria and smooth tooth roots, promoting gum reattachment.

Periodontal Surgery: Surgical interventions such as flap surgery or gum grafting for advanced cases.

Antibiotic Therapy: Prescription of antibiotics to combat bacterial infection and promote healing.

Preventive Care

Educational efforts at Monarch Dental Clinic focus on preventive measures to maintain gum health. Dr. Sheth advises on proper oral hygiene practices, regular dental check-ups, and lifestyle adjustments (e.g., smoking cessation) to minimize the risk of gum disease recurrence.
