Reasons to have your gums examined
If you notice changes or have a previous periodontal disease diagnosis, examination identifies the affected tissues and care you need. Treatment is decided according to diagnosis and each area’s response.
Bleeding when brushing
Bleeding and inflammation can occur with different gum problems. Alone, they cannot distinguish gingivitis from periodontitis or determine the procedure needed.
Receding gums and sensitivity
Exposed roots or changes in gum contours require assessment of the cause of recession, available tissue and options for protecting or treating the defect.
Mobility or loss of support
Assessment of gums, bone and bite helps establish each tooth’s prognosis and retention options. Mobility must be considered in its clinical context.
Inflammation around implants
Bleeding or changes around an implant require assessment of its condition and any loss of support. The plan is adapted to diagnosis and necessary maintenance.
Persistent bad breath also deserves assessment to distinguish a periodontal origin from other dental or general causes.
Absence of pain does not rule out periodontal disease. Seek prompt care for pus, significant swelling or severe pain; difficulty breathing or swallowing requires emergency care.
Periodontal treatments considered at consultation
Examination may include periodontal measurements, bleeding, recession and mobility, plus indicated X-rays. Medications, conditions such as diabetes, tobacco and previous treatment are also reviewed.
| Need | How care is planned |
|---|---|
| Gingivitis | Plaque and tartar control, adapted oral hygiene and professional care to resolve gum inflammation. |
| Periodontitis | Control of disease affecting attachment and bone. This may include root instrumentation, reassessment and additional procedures in specific areas. |
| Gum recession | Assessment of the cause and options for root protection, sensitivity control or mucogingival surgery where appropriate. |
| Mucositis or peri-implantitis | Assessment of tissues around the implant and its support to determine care and follow-up. |
| Periodontal maintenance | Reviews of stability, hygiene and risk factors at individually determined intervals. |
Gingivitis can be reversed with plaque control and appropriate care. Periodontitis requires treatment and long-term maintenance. Routine cleaning does not replace comprehensive management of areas with lost support.
Assessment of gum and bone grafts in Ibagué
If a graft has been recommended or you seek options for receding gums or bone loss, bring your diagnosis and available studies. The doctor will review the procedure’s purpose and alternatives for your case.
Gum grafting
This is considered for recession or specific gum tissue needs. In selected cases it may increase tissue or cover part of an exposed root. Possible coverage depends on the defect’s characteristics and is explained at consultation.
Ask about tissue source, treatment area, alternatives and postoperative care.
Regeneration and bone grafting
A defect in support around a tooth is distinguished from reconstruction to prepare an implant. Anatomy and studies help assess the indication and its limitations.
Not every patient requires grafts, and not all defects allow lost tissues to be recovered. Surgical indications are determined after assessment and, where appropriate, reassessment of initial treatment.
