Even if no cavities are present, severe cases of periodontal disease can require tooth extraction.
‘Gingivitis’ is inflammation of the gums caused by plaque. When the inflammation spreads to the alveolar bone and ligament, it becomes ‘periodontitis,’ or gum disease. If left untreated, the structures holding the tooth will weaken and extraction may be necessary.
Periodontal disease affects over 70% of adults, but it can easily be treated and prevented.
STEP 01
Healthy Teeth
Gums are pink in color and surround the teeth tightly without inflammation.
Scaling, Regular Checkups
STEP 02
Gingivitis
Inflammation causes redness and swelling. Gums may bleed when brushing.
Scaling, Gum Planing
STEP 03
Periodontitis
Inflammation spreads, causing receded gums and pain when chewing.
Root planing, Curettage
STEP 04
Severe Case
The root becomes exposed, causing severe pain and possibly loosening the tooth.
Debridement
Strong gums are vital
Lienjang Dental Clinic provides consistent and effective treatment for periodontal disease.
STEP 01
Scaling
The basic step of periodontal treatment where tartar is removed from the teeth.
STEP 02
Root Planing
Roots that have become roughened by bacteria are smoothed to prevent reattachment of tartar.
STEP 03
Open Root Planing
Diseased tissue is removed from deep inside the gums to promote the reattachment of healthy tissue.
STEP 04
Debridement
For severe cases of periodontal disease, the inflamed gums and tissue are surgically removed.

SCALING
A small but powerful way to maintain oral health
Regular scaling treatment is recommended once every 6 months to 1 year and
is covered once annually by health insurance.
Removing plaque and tartar helps to prevent the progression of oral diseases
and makes maintaining dental health easy.
Lienjang Dental Clinic focuses on prevention rather than treatment, prioritizing oral health over immediate profit.
