Chungmuro Dental Scaling: Is Periodontal Disease the Reason for Bleeding and Tingling Gum Pain?

The gums not only fix and support teeth to perform their chewing function well, but also connect the jaw and teeth. Numerous nerves are located within the gums.

For various reasons, inflammation of the gums is common. The problem is that if you buy and take gum health medication from a pharmacy or apply ointment, but the symptoms do not improve, it's worth considering whether dental treatment is necessary.

If you experience tooth or gum pain that interferes with daily life, and medication or ointment doesn't alleviate the symptoms, and you constantly feel bleeding and tingling every time you brush, we recommend visiting Chungmuro Dental for a precise diagnosis to check for periodontal disease.

Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is a typical oral disease caused by plaque (bacterial film) that forms on the tooth surface when saliva meets bacteria in the mouth, and by tartar (calculus) that gradually hardens and accumulates when food debris and bacteria remain in the mouth.

Plaque, in particular, is similar in color to teeth and cannot be seen with the naked eye. Hardened tartar, like stone, is difficult to remove entirely by brushing alone. Therefore, to remove plaque and tartar that cause periodontal disease, it is recommended to receive regular scaling at Chungmuro Dental.

Typical symptoms of periodontal disease include bleeding gums every time you brush, and a tingling or sensitive sensation in the gums when consuming cold or hot foods. Over time, the gums may swell or turn red. In severe cases, even with diligent brushing, severe bad breath may occur, the gums may gradually recede, teeth may become loose, and pus may emerge from the gums.

The problem is that if periodontal disease is left untreated, the gums weaken and can no longer hold the teeth, potentially leading to the loss of natural teeth. Therefore, to prevent periodontal disease, it is necessary to regularly receive scaling treatment at Chungmuro Dental to manage gum health, and if bleeding symptoms during brushing are repeatedly observed, timely treatment is required to prevent worsening.

Receiving scaling treatment at Chungmuro Dental at least once a year helps manage oral health. For smokers, it's recommended every 6 months, and for those who frequently experience oral problems such as periodontal disease or cavities, it's good to do it every 3 months.

For those who find the cost of frequent scaling treatment at Chungmuro Dental burdensome, health insurance subscribers can receive scaling at a relatively affordable price once a year. It would be good to consider this benefit as well.

Even if it's the same periodontal disease, the location, form, and severity of symptoms differ, so treatment tailored to the patient's condition is necessary to prevent recurrence of periodontal disease. Therefore, at Chungmuro Dental, after meticulously examining the patient's oral condition using a 3D-CT scanner, which is university hospital-grade precision diagnostic equipment, we provide personalized 1:1 periodontal disease treatment for each patient.

Treatment is provided with appropriate methods such as root planing, curettage, periodontal surgery, and root canal treatment, depending on the patient's condition. For those who delay treatment due to fear of pain, we reduce the burden of pain through a pain-free anesthesia system.

At Chungmuro Dental, the chief director, a specialist in integrated dentistry certified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, provides 1:1 customized care from consultation, treatment planning and execution, to aftercare. We operate on the principle that saving natural teeth is the foundation of all dental treatments.

Therefore, even if you have severe periodontal disease and have been advised extraction and implant treatment at another Chungmuro dental clinic, we meticulously examine the patient's condition once more to see if there is a way to save the natural teeth before proceeding with treatment.

At Barunyoung Dental Clinic in Chungmuro, all medical tools adhere to the principle of 'one tool per patient' to prevent cross-infection between patients. All medical tools are thoroughly managed through a 9-step sterilization system, ensuring that patients receive stable medical services.

Furthermore, even if you visit for periodontal disease treatment, we don't just treat periodontal disease and stop there. We comprehensively check the patient's oral condition to see if there are any other oral diseases that could cause periodontal disease, or any oral diseases the patient might have overlooked, providing thorough checks and enabling one-stop treatment.

At Chungmuro Dental, all treatment details are thoroughly explained until the patient understands, even if it takes a long time. Scaling is carefully performed by a licensed dental hygienist, not an apprentice, according to the patient's oral health condition, ensuring no undue strain.

Barunyoung Dental Clinic in Chungmuro is located a 1-minute walk from Exit 6 of Yaksu Station, where subway lines 3 and 6 meet. For those with busy schedules who are delaying dental treatment, including periodontal disease, we offer evening hours until 8:30 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so please keep this in mind.
