When detected early such as in cases of gum swelling or bleeding during brushing and treated appropriately, gum disease can be effectively controlled and reversed to a healthy condition. However, if it progresses to advanced periodontal disease, the lost supporting tissues cannot be fully regenerated. In such cases, treatment focuses on controlling the disease and preventing further progression.

At Siam Dental Clinic, root planing is performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. You may experience mild tooth sensitivity or slight gum irritation afterward, but these symptoms usually resolve within a few days. Our dentists will provide detailed post-treatment care instructions to support healing.

Gum grafting is recommended for patients with gum recession that exposes the tooth roots or causes tooth sensitivity. During the procedure, the dentist transfers gingival tissue from the palate to the receded area to strengthen the gums, reduce the risk of tooth loss, and restore both function and smile confidence.

Bleeding during brushing is an early sign of gingivitis and should not be ignored. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontal disease. Regular dental check-ups and professional scaling help prevent disease progression and maintain healthy gums.

Patients with a history of gum disease are advised to have dental check-ups every 3–6 months. Gum disease can easily recur, especially in those with previous gingivitis or periodontitis. Ongoing professional care is essential to maintain healthy gums and reduce long-term risks.
