WHAT PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED IN THE DEPARTMENT OF PERIODONTOLOGY?
Although periodontologists are known for treating gum diseases, they can actually apply many different treatment methods to patients. These treatment methods can be listed as follows;
Bacterial Plaque Removal; Bacterial plaques can cause tooth inflammation and tooth decay. For this reason, it is necessary to clean the bacterial plaques from the tooth surfaces. Periodontologists remove these bacterial plaques.
Microbial Dental Plaque; Due to this plaque formation, the teeth become inflamed and this inflammation needs to be cleaned, if this inflammation is not cleaned, it can go down to the roots of the teeth and cause tooth loss. The most important task of the periodontology specialist is to diagnose the disease and to choose the treatment method to be applied along with it.
Gum Bleeding; Gum bleeding can cause problems other than tooth loss that will negatively affect oral and dental health. For this reason, if the patient has a gingival bleeding problem, a periodontology specialist should definitely be examined.
