These days, many people are asking about gum treatment injections.

In particular,

Does a PDRN injection really work?

Does it hurt?

I get a lot of questions like these.^^

In fact, when gums are swollen or bleed often, people know they should go to the dentist,

but many people are afraid when they hear the word “injection treatment.”

Have you perhaps been suffering every night because your gums and teeth hurt?

If gum problems are left untreated without proper care, it can eventually lead to losing your teeth.

So today, I’ll clearly answer all your questions about gum treatment injections.

  4. Gum treatment injections, what exactly are they?

The most representative type of gum treatment injection is the PDRN injection.

PDRN is a regenerative injection made from DNA components extracted from salmon reproductive cells.

It has already been used for a long time in dermatology and is a proven injection.

If I explain how this injection helps the gums, it has three main effects.

First, its anti-inflammatory action helps calm swollen, red gums.

Second, it promotes blood vessel formation, increasing nutrient supply to the gums.

Third, it helps cell regeneration, assisting damaged gum tissue in recovering.

You can think of it as being similar to applying a regenerative cream to a wound on the skin.

However, gum treatment injections alone cannot solve every problem.

They work much better when used as a supplement along with basic treatments such as scaling or gum surgery.

  1. Gum treatment injections, PDRN injection procedure and level of pain

This is the part many people are most curious about. "How much does it hurt, really?"

To give the conclusion first, it does not hurt as much as you might think.

You can think of it as hurting less than a typical anesthetic injection.

The treatment process is very simple.

First, the area to be treated is thoroughly disinfected, then the solution is slowly injected into the gums with a fine needle.

Usually about 1cc is used per area, and the procedure is finished quickly in about 10 minutes.

During the injection, you may feel some pressure or a heavy sensation, but there is almost no pain that would be hard to endure.

Rather, it is so simple that you may even ask, "Is that all?" After the procedure, there are no special side effects.

Occasionally, the injected area may swell slightly or bruise, but this naturally disappears within 2-3 days.

The number of treatment sessions varies depending on an individual’s gum condition, but usually 3-6 sessions at 1-2 week intervals are recommended.

  1. Gum treatment injections, treatment effects and care methods

Then what kind of effects can you actually expect?

The first change you will notice is reduced gum inflammation.

Swollen, red gums gradually return to a light pink color, and bleeding while brushing also decreases significantly.

In addition, as the gums gradually fill in, the gaps between teeth can also become smaller.

For people who often get food stuck between their teeth, this is truly a welcome change.

But there is one point I always emphasize to patients.

Gum treatment injections are not a cure-all.

If basic scaling and proper brushing are not done alongside them, the effects will inevitably be limited.

In particular, if a lot of tartar has built up, injection treatment alone cannot provide a fundamental solution.

Post-treatment care is also important.

Quitting smoking is essential, and please avoid hot and irritating foods for a few days.

Also, use a softer toothbrush than usual and brush carefully.

Regular checkups to continuously manage gum health are also an important part of care.

Gum treatment injections are certainly a helpful treatment, but they do not guarantee the same effect for everyone.

Results can vary depending on an individual’s gum condition, lifestyle, and the combination with existing treatments.

That is why, after an accurate diagnosis, it is most important to establish a customized treatment plan that fits the patient’s situation.

If you have any questions or need a consultation, please feel free to contact us anytime.

Wishing you healthy gums and healthy teeth for life, and may you have a happy day with a bright smile today.^^
