Persisting bleeding gums may indicate a deeper inflammation of the bone that supports the teeth. This inflammation causes bone resorption and it shows in the mouth as deep pockets between the teeth and the gums. The aim of the treatment is to detect all the areas of inflammation and remove the cause, which is the colonies of the bacteria inside the pockets.

Dr. George Papagrigorakis carefully examines your gums and with the aid of x-rays can find the areas of inflammation. He makes a detailed chart of these areas in the mouth and schedules appointments to deal with each and every area under local anaesthesia. This is the non-surgical periodontal treatment. A review is scheduled in 3 and 6 months and we decide about the progress and plan of action.

Prior to the treatment

Brush your teeth following your every day routine of oral hygiene

During the Treatment

We carefully clean each and every tooth that is involved with our instruments and under local anaesthetic. Very detailed and customized oral hygiene instructions will be given.

After the Treatment

Some mild discomfort in the area of the treatment, but this will gradually go.

Results

After the periodontal treatment and following all dental hygiene instructions, the gums gradually become tighter and do not bleed in brushing. The pockets between teeth and gums become shallower, the inflammation goes and no more harm can happen. The gums recede too. Some sensitivity in cold foods and drinks may appear. As a by-product, teeth may seem longer and some gaps (black triangles) may appear. This may take 6 months or more. Patience and perseverance is the secret for perfect gums!!
