Introducing Lime Tree Dental Hospital’s Gum Disease Prevention Program!

Hello. This is Lime Tree Dental Hospital, which has been serving patients at the same location in Myeongdong for over 20 years.

Many patients believe that the biggest cause of tooth loss is “cavities.” However, what dentists actually fear most is not cavities but “gum disease.” Cavities can generally be treated by removing and filling the decayed area, but gum disease causes the very roots that support the teeth to deteriorate.

When the gums recede and deteriorate, the teeth lose their support, begin to wobble helplessly, and eventually fall out. This is not simply a matter of toothache—it is like a disaster in which you lose the teeth that were meant to stay with you for life. Once the gums are damaged, they cannot be restored 100% to their former healthy condition. That is why “prevention” is overwhelmingly more important than “treatment.”

1. The Hidden Culprit in the Gums: The Threat of “Biofilm”

The real culprit behind gum disease is “biofilm,” which hides deep in the gums, inside invisible periodontal pockets. It is like a powerful fortress where bacteria gather together to attack our teeth.

Regular scaling often only removes tartar that is visible on the surface. However, the Airflow scaling we provide is on a different level. By spraying special powder and warm water, it penetrates between the teeth and gums without irritation and completely removes biofilm hidden deep within the gums. It is the most reliable cleaning method for protecting dental health and the core of our hospital’s premium prevention program.

2. Customized Prevention Solutions Based on Oral Health Condition

The future of your gums depends on how you care for them. Lime Tree Dental Hospital carefully assesses each patient’s current oral health condition and provides optimal care.

• General patients: Protecting your gums while they are healthy is the wisest choice. Combine once-yearly insurance-covered scaling with a gum prevention treatment for thorough care.

• Patients with periodontitis: If your gums are already deteriorating, the situation is urgent. In addition to insurance-covered gum treatment, you should receive prevention treatments to prevent further damage.

• Implant and orthodontic patients: For these patients, prevention is not a “choice” but a matter of “survival.” Bacteria that collect around dental appliances can be more harmful than those around natural teeth. Protect your valuable implants and orthodontic teeth with regular scaling and prevention treatments every three months.

3. The Most Reliable Investment in Your Future: Package Benefits

The premium one-time care fee is 100,000 won and includes non-covered scaling, gum massage, and subgingival biofilm removal. For those who maintain regular care for their health, we have prepared substantial package discounts.

• 5-session package: 500,000 won → 400,000 won (20% discount)

• 10-session package: 1,000,000 won → 700,000 won (30% discount)

• 20-session package: 2,000,000 won → 1,000,000 won (50% discount)

• In particular, because ongoing care is essential for orthodontic patients, we strongly recommend the 20-session package.
