Chungmuro Dental Clinic: If Gum Bleeding Recurs, Periodontal Disease Treatment May Be Necessary

Everyone has probably experienced sudden gum bleeding while brushing their teeth or chewing food. This might be due to rough toothbrush bristles or sharp/coarse food causing a temporary injury to the gums. However, if gum bleeding symptoms recur every time, it's necessary to check if it might be periodontal disease caused by gum inflammation.

In particular, if gum bleeding is accompanied by itching, sensitivity, or a tingling sensation in the gums, the likelihood of periodontal disease is high. We recommend visiting Chungmuro Dental Clinic as soon as possible for periodontal treatment.

The typical symptoms of gum disease that require periodontal treatment, as mentioned earlier, range from gum bleeding every time you brush or eat, to gum itching, gum sensitivity, swollen gums, bad breath, and gum inflammation.

Especially if you experience unbearable severe pain when consuming cold or hot foods, it indicates that the periodontal disease is quite advanced. Do not delay treatment and quickly seek out Chungmuro Dental Clinic, where periodontal disease treatment is available.

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, refers to an oral condition where gum tissue is damaged due to inflammation caused by bacteria or other oral diseases in the alveolar bone, which supports the gums and teeth. It is classified into gingivitis and periodontitis based on its stage of progression.

Gingivitis is the initial stage of periodontal disease, occurring when plaque and calculus accumulate between the gums and teeth. It is characterized by gum bleeding during brushing or eating. If gingivitis progresses over time, it develops into periodontitis.

Periodontitis is a stage where the scope of gingivitis in the gums expands, damaging the alveolar bone that supports the gums and teeth. It is also commonly referred to as ‘pyorrhea’.

If gum disease (periodontal disease) is left untreated, not only will bleeding and pain worsen, but the burden of treatment duration and costs will also increase.

In particular, if periodontitis, which has spread from gingivitis, is left untreated for a long time, as bacteria accumulate, the gums gradually recede, exposing the tooth roots. This can lead to the gums being unable to perform their function properly, causing teeth to become loose or even requiring extraction. Therefore, if periodontal disease treatment is needed, never neglect it. You must visit Chungmuro Dental Clinic, which has specialists, and prevent the condition from worsening through appropriate treatment tailored to your current state.

Chungmuro Dental Clinic, Bareunyoung Dental, helps you restore gum health through periodontal disease treatment tailored to each stage.

For the initial stage of periodontal disease, non-surgical treatments such as scaling and root planing are performed at Chungmuro Dental Clinic, customized to the patient's condition. If the condition has already progressed to between gingivitis and periodontitis, or to periodontitis, we assist with treatment through surgical periodontal disease methods such as subgingival curettage, flap curettage, and bone grafting.

All processes of periodontal treatment at Chungmuro Dental Clinic, from consultation to treatment and aftercare, are conducted by the chief director, a specialist certified in integrated dentistry by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, providing 1:1 customized responsible care. For simple treatment stages like scaling, a dental hygienist with a national license meticulously assists based on the patient's oral condition.

Furthermore, for patients who delay treatment due to concerns about pain during periodontal disease treatment at Chungmuro Dental Clinic, Bareunyoung Dental Clinic applies a digital pain-free anesthesia system to reduce the burden of pain. All medical instruments are thoroughly managed and used according to the 'one instrument per patient' principle and a 9-step sterilization and disinfection management system.

Periodontal disease treatment, which treats gum disease, is one of the most difficult dental procedures. Since each patient's gum and alveolar bone condition varies, appropriate treatment must be performed after a thorough examination of the patient's condition.

At Chungmuro Dental Clinic, Bareunyoung Dental, we strive to provide stable periodontal disease treatment by utilizing precise diagnostic equipment such as 3D CT to understand the patient's overall oral condition, then establishing and executing a treatment plan to offer 1:1 customized periodontal disease treatment for each individual patient.

Moreover, in all treatment processes, based on the fundamental principle of dentistry to save natural teeth, even for patients with advanced periodontal disease, we consider and diagnose whether there is a way to save natural teeth and gums one more time, rather than immediately diagnosing extraction and implant treatment.

All treatments at Chungmuro Dental Clinic, Bareunyoung Dental, are conducted after thoroughly explaining the treatment situation and direction to each patient in an easy-to-understand manner, even if it takes a long time, to avoid overtreatment and unnecessary procedures.

Methods to prevent periodontal disease include meticulous brushing, using interdental brushes and dental floss, consistent oral examinations, and regular scaling treatments. As explained earlier, the main causes of periodontal disease are plaque and calculus, which are food debris we consume.

Remember that regularly removing plaque and calculus through scaling treatment according to your cycle helps prevent periodontal disease. From January 1st to December 31st each year, you can receive a scaling benefit once a year at a cost of 10,000 to 20,000 won through national health insurance benefits, so please take advantage of this benefit.

Chungmuro Dental Clinic, Bareunyoung Dental, which always prioritizes saving natural teeth, is located directly in front of Yaksu Station Exit 6. We offer evening appointments until 8:30 PM every Tuesday and Thursday for those who are busy and have been delaying dental treatment. Appointments can be made more conveniently using Naver Reservations.
