Periodontal Disease (Gum Disease) at DRHC Dubai

Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is a serious infection of the gums that can lead to tooth loss and other significant health issues if left untreated. At DRHC Dubai, we offer cutting-edge laser therapy for the effective treatment of periodontal disease, providing a minimally invasive solution that promotes gum health and recovery.

Understanding Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease is caused by the buildup of plaque and bacteria along the gumline, leading to inflammation, infection, and damage to the soft tissue and bone that support the teeth. The condition progresses in stages:

• Gingivitis: The earliest stage of gum disease, characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums. Gingivitis is reversible with proper treatment.
• Periodontitis: As the disease progresses, the gums pull away from the teeth, forming pockets that harbor bacteria. This can lead to bone loss and, eventually, tooth loss if not treated.
• Advanced Periodontitis: In severe cases, the supporting structures of the teeth are destroyed, resulting in loose teeth or the need for tooth extraction.

Symptoms of Periodontitis Disease

Common symptoms of periodontal disease include:

• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
• Persistent bad breath (halitosis)
• Gum recession (pulling away from teeth)
• Loose or shifting teeth
• Pain when chewing or sensitivity to hot and cold
• Formation of deep pockets between the gums and teeth

Causes of Periodontal Disease

• Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing allow plaque to build up, leading to gum infections.
• Smoking: Smoking is a significant risk factor for periodontal disease, reducing the body’s ability to fight infection.
• Hormonal Changes: Changes during pregnancy, menopause, or menstruation can make gums more sensitive and vulnerable to disease.
• Chronic Conditions: Health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and immune system disorders can increase the risk of gum disease.
• Genetics: Some individuals may be genetically predisposed to developing periodontal disease.

Advanced Laser Therapy for Periodontal Disease at DRHC Dubai

At DRHC Dubai, we utilize laser therapy as a modern, minimally invasive treatment for periodontal disease. Laser therapy offers a precise, efficient, and less painful alternative to traditional gum surgery, helping to restore gum health and prevent further damage.

How Laser Therapy Works

Laser therapy for periodontal disease involves using a highly focused beam of light to target infected gum tissue and bacteria, while preserving healthy tissue. The laser is used to:

• Remove Infected Tissue: The laser precisely targets and removes diseased gum tissue, promoting the healing of healthy gums.
• Eliminate Bacteria: The laser sterilizes the gum pockets, killing harmful bacteria that cause infection.
• Stimulate Tissue Regeneration: Laser therapy encourages the regeneration of gum tissue and bone, promoting natural healing and reducing gum recession.
• Seal Gum Tissue: The laser also seals the treated areas, minimizing bleeding and reducing the risk of infection.

Benefits of Laser Therapy for Periodontal Disease

Laser therapy offers numerous advantages for the treatment of periodontal disease:

• Minimally Invasive: Unlike traditional surgery, laser therapy does not require incisions or sutures, leading to faster recovery times.
• Reduced Discomfort: Patients experience less pain, swelling, and bleeding with laser therapy compared to conventional treatments.
• Precision: The laser’s precision allows for targeted treatment of infected areas without damaging healthy tissue.
• Faster Healing: With less trauma to the gums, patients recover more quickly and experience fewer post-treatment complications.
• Effective Results: Laser therapy promotes long-term gum health by effectively removing infection and reducing the depth of gum pockets.
