🦷 If You Want to Protect Your Teeth for a Long Time, Gum Treatment Is Necessary

YES! SMILE!

Hello, this is Yesmir Dental Clinic 😊

Today, we’d like to talk about gum treatment, which many people are curious about.

“I’ve had scaling before, but what is gum treatment?”

“When and why do I need gum treatment?”

For those of you who have these questions, we’ll explain how gums are managed healthily through specialized equipment and what the process involves!

🦠 Tartar Is a Mass of Bacteria

Tartar that accumulates on the surface of teeth or below the gum line may look like a simple deposit, but it is actually a hardened mass of bacteria.

If these bacteria remain deep inside the gums, the gums can swell and bleed, and eventually this may progress to periodontal disease, in which the bone supporting the teeth is destroyed.

👉 Since regular scaling alone makes it difficult to completely remove tartar that has settled deep in the gums (subgingival area), it is important to keep those deeper areas clean through gum treatment.

👇If you’re curious about scaling, please refer to the post below!👇

💡 Gum Treatment Is Needed in These Cases

✅When the gums frequently swell and bleed

✅When tartar forms frequently even after scaling

✅For those who want to prevent periodontal disease

✅For those who have not received scaling for a long time

✅When oral conditions need to be improved before implant or prosthetic treatment

🛠️ Gum Treatment Equipment at Yesmir Dental Clinic

Because gum treatment is a precise and delicate process, the appropriate instruments are selected depending on the patient’s oral condition.

🔹 Gracey Curette

A manual instrument used to remove subgingival tartar and inflamed tissue.

The doctor personally selects and uses the instrument number designed for each tooth area, depending on the patient’s oral condition and tooth location.

It allows delicate removal of tartar from deep areas while minimizing irritation.

🔹 Sonic Scaler

A scaler that uses sonic vibration, with gentler vibrations compared to conventional ultrasonic scalers.

When removing tartar from deep areas, it is especially effective in deep and narrow areas that are difficult to reach with a Gracey curette.

It may help reduce sensitivity and gum irritation. It is suitable for patients with sensitive gums.

📅 How Often Should You Receive It?

Because gum treatment is intended for prevention and maintenance, we recommend regular gum treatment once or twice a year.

In particular, if you have a family history of periodontal disease, or if your gums frequently swell due to smoking or irregular brushing habits, it is better to have checkups more often.

Also, because gum treatment is covered by health insurance, the financial burden is relatively low. Regular care can help prevent bigger problems, so we recommend not forgetting to receive it.

🧡 A Choice for Using Your Teeth for a Long Time

Gum treatment is not just treatment, but preventive care to protect your teeth. By carefully managing even the deep areas that are not visible, it helps you use your teeth longer and more healthily.
