Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. At Seoul Lab Dental Clinic, we diagnose and treat gingivitis and periodontitis with gentle techniques, clear explanations, and a personalized plan—so you can stop bleeding, protect bone support, and keep your teeth for the long term.

What Is Gum Disease?

Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums caused by plaque buildup—often reversible. Periodontitis is a deeper infection that damages the bone and ligament supporting your teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, loose teeth, and tooth loss.

Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

  • Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing
  • Bad breath that doesn’t go away
  • Red, swollen, or tender gums
  • Receding gums, longer-looking teeth, or loose teeth
  • Spaces forming between teeth; food getting stuck

How We Treat Gum Disease

Professional Cleaning (Prophylaxis)

For gingivitis or maintenance after therapy—removes plaque/tartar above the gums and polishes teeth.

Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

For periodontitis—thoroughly cleans plaque and calculus below the gumline and smooths roots to help gums reattach.

Local Antimicrobials / Rinses (As Indicated)

Targeted medication to reduce bacterial load in deeper pockets.

Periodontal Maintenance

Scheduled cleanings every 3–4 months to control bacteria and prevent relapse once pockets improve.

Bite & Home-Care Optimization

Instruction on brushing/flossing, interdental brushes, water flossers, and bite checks to reduce trauma.


Advanced surgical needs (e.g., severe defects) are discussed case-by-case; if required, we’ll coordinate a specialist referral and support your follow-up.

Our Comfort-First Process

  1. Comprehensive Exam & Charting
    Pocket measurements, bleeding index, recession/bone level review, and photos.
  2. Personalized Treatment Plan
    We explain your diagnosis (gingivitis vs. periodontitis), sequence of visits, and costs before we start.
  3. Gentle Therapy
    Numbing as needed for deep cleaning; we work at your pace with breaks on request.
  4. Re-Evaluation
    Pocket depth and bleeding are rechecked after healing; maintenance schedule set.

Aftercare & What to Expect

  • Mild tenderness is common for 1–2 days after deep cleaning—OTC pain relief usually sufficient.
  • Temporary sensitivity to cold can occur; desensitizing toothpaste helps.
  • You’ll receive home-care coaching and a maintenance plan tailored to your risk level.

Prevention Tips That Work

  • Brush 2× daily with a soft brush; clean between teeth daily (floss or interdental brushes).
  • Consider a water flosser for bridges, implants, or tight spaces.
  • Cut down on frequent sugary/acidic snacks and stop smoking if possible.
  • Keep regular check-ups—most gum issues start silently.

FAQs

Will treatment be painful?
We use gentle anesthesia for deep areas and check in frequently. Most people are comfortable during and after treatment.

How long does scaling & root planing take?
Often two visits (half mouth each) plus a follow-up; timing depends on pocket depths and buildup.

Can gums grow back?
Inflammation can resolve and pockets can shrink; lost bone typically doesn’t regrow without surgery, but disease can be stabilized.

How often is maintenance?
Every 3–4 months is typical for periodontitis patients; we adjust based on healing and risk.
