Gum treatment in Istanbul starts with understanding the condition of the gums and supporting tissues. Contact Eira Clinic to discuss assessment and ask how treatment and ongoing maintenance would be coordinated if you live in the UK or Denmark.
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile.
At Eira Clinic, Gum Treatments (Periodontal Care) focus on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease, protecting both your teeth and the bone that supports them.
Gum problems often progress silently — early care makes all the difference.
What Are Gum Treatments?
Gum Treatments, also known as Periodontal Care, are dental procedures aimed at treating inflammation and infection of the gums and surrounding tissues.
They help to:
• Stop gum bleeding and swelling
• Control infection
• Prevent tooth loss
• Preserve jawbone health
Healthy gums are essential for long-term dental and implant success.
When Do You Need Gum Treatment?
You may need periodontal treatment if you experience:
• Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing
• Swollen, red, or tender gums
• Persistent bad breath
• Gum recession (teeth appearing longer)
• Loose teeth
• Pain or discomfort around the gums
Ignoring these signs can lead to periodontitis, a major cause of tooth and bone loss.
Why Gum Health Is Critical
Gum disease does not only affect the gums.
Untreated periodontal disease can:
• Damage the supporting bone
• Cause tooth mobility and loss
• Compromise implant success
• Affect overall oral health
Early treatment protects both teeth and bone.
Diagnosis & Periodontal Assessment
At Eira Clinic, gum evaluation includes:
• Clinical examination
• Measurement of gum pockets
• Digital X-rays
• Assessment of bone levels
This allows us to create a personalised periodontal treatment plan.
Types of Gum Treatments
Depending on the severity, treatments may include:
Professional Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
• Removal of plaque and tartar below the gum line
• Smoothing of root surfaces
• Reduction of inflammation and infection
Periodontal Maintenance
• Regular professional cleanings
• Monitoring gum health
• Preventing disease recurrence
Advanced Periodontal Therapy
• Treatment of advanced gum disease
• Surgical or non-surgical interventions if needed
All treatments aim to control infection and restore gum health.
Comfort & Healing
Gum treatments are performed with:
• Patient comfort as a priority
• Gentle techniques
• Clear aftercare instructions
Most patients experience minimal discomfort and gradual improvement in gum health.
Gum Health & Dental Implants
Healthy gums are essential for:
• Successful dental implants
• Long-term implant stability
• Prevention of peri-implant disease
Periodontal care is often a critical step before implant treatment.
Assessment and risks
Bleeding, swelling or persistent bad breath should be assessed by a dentist. Treatment depends on severity and can include cleaning and advice, with more involved care for advanced disease. Continued home care and professional reviews remain important; a single visit is not a substitute for ongoing maintenance.
