Warning Signs: When Do You Urgently Need a Veda Stom Periodontist?
Your gums are screaming for help! Pay attention to these symptoms:
- Bleeding gums: Even slight bleeding while brushing your teeth or biting into hard food is the first and main signal!
- Redness and swelling: Healthy gums are pale pink and firm. Inflamed gums are red, soft, and swollen.
- Bad breath (halitosis): A persistent odor that cannot be eliminated by hygiene is often the result of bacterial activity in the periodontal pockets.
- Exposure of the necks of the teeth, sensitivity: Teeth become visually longer, and a painful reaction to cold/hot appears.
- Tooth mobility: The most ominous sign of advanced periodontitis, indicating the destruction of bone tissue.
- Discomfort, itching in the gums, pain.
If you notice any of these symptoms, don't delay your visit to Veda Stom! Early diagnosis and treatment will save your teeth.
From Harmless Inflammation to Disaster: The Stages of Gum Disease
Periodontal diseases develop gradually:
- Gingivitis:
- What is this? Inflammation only Gum (mucous membrane) without bone damage. The cause is plaque accumulation due to poor hygiene.
- Symptoms: Bleeding, swelling, redness of the gums, possible unpleasant odor.
- Treatment: Completely reversible with professional cleaning and established home care! This is key to preventing a catastrophe.
- Periodontitis:
- What is this? An inflammatory process in which infection destroys not only the gums but also the bone and ligaments that support the tooth. Pathological periodontal pockets form, where bacteria actively proliferate.
- What is dangerous?
- Bone loss: The tooth loses support.
- Tooth mobility and loss: Even perfectly healthy teeth can fall out due to bone destruction.
- Abscesses (pustules): Exacerbation of inflammation with severe pain and swelling.
- Effect on the whole body: Chronic infection in the mouth increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, pregnancy complications, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Periodontitis is a chronic disease, but it can and should be controlled! Veda Stom's modern methods help stop the decay and preserve teeth, even in complex cases.
Modern gum treatment at Veda Stom Tashkent: Precision, efficiency, and comfort
Our periodontists use a comprehensive approach and advanced technologies to combat periodontitis:
Professional oral hygiene (Professional Hygiene) is the foundation of healthy gums!
- The gist: Thorough removal of all types of dental deposits (soft plaque, hard tartar) above and UNDER THE GUM.
- Methods: Ultrasonic scaler, Air Flow device (gentle cleaning with an air-water-powder mixture), hand instruments (curettes).
- Meaning: Without high-quality professional cleaning, any further treatment will be ineffective! This is the foundation and first mandatory step. Recommended every 3-6 months.
Laser Gum Therapy – Innovations Against Periodontitis (Vector, Photophoresis)
Veda Stom is equipped with advanced laser equipment for gentle and effective treatment:
- Vector System Therapy:
- The gist: Ultrasonic energy is transmitted through a special polishing suspension (hydroxyapatite), which is injected under the gum.
- Action: Deeply cleans tooth roots and pocket walls of bacteria, biofilm, and toxins. Polishes the root surface, making it difficult for plaque to adhere. Painless!
- Advantages: Minimal trauma, no bleeding, reduced pocket depth, accelerated healing, patient comfort.
- Photodynamic therapy (PDT, photophoresis):
- The gist: A special photosensitizing gel is applied to the gums, which accumulates pathogenic bacteria. The gums are then treated with laser light of a specific wavelength.
- Action: Light-activated gel destroys bacteria that cause inflammation.
- Advantages: Non-invasive, painless, targeted infection control, rapid anti-inflammatory response. An excellent complement to Vector therapy.
Surgical methods for severe periodontitis
In advanced cases, when the depth of the pockets is significant and there is significant bone loss, the following are used:
- Patch operations: A careful incision in the gums is made to access the tooth roots and bone. The root surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, and inflamed tissue is removed. Osteoplastic materials (bone substitutes) are used to stimulate bone regeneration. The gums are sutured.
- Gum plastic surgery: Correction of gum contour in case of recession (root exposure) to improve aesthetics and reduce sensitivity.
- Guided tissue regeneration (GTR): Use of special membranes to isolate the area of bone defect and stimulate the growth of one's own bone.
Veda Stom's surgical procedures are performed using a microscope and minimally invasive techniques for maximum comfort and rapid recovery.
