What is Gum (Periodontal) Disease?
Gum disease is an infection of the tissues and bone that hold your teeth in place. It typically begins with a sticky film of bacteria called plaque. If plaque is not removed through daily brushing and flossing, it hardens into tartar (calculus), which can only be removed by a dental professional. In its early stage, called Gingivitis, your gums may become red, swollen, and bleed easily. If left untreated, it progresses to Periodontitis, a severe infection that destroys the jawbone and is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.
The "Silent" Threat to Your Teeth
Gum disease is often painless in its early stages, which is why many patients do not realize they have it until significant damage has occurred. You should book an immediate consultation if you notice persistent bad breath (halitosis), gums that bleed when you brush or eat hard foods, receding gum lines that make your teeth look longer, or teeth that feel loose or are shifting out of position.
Our Advanced Periodontal Treatments
At our Antalya clinic, we focus on halting the progression of the disease and regenerating healthy tissue using the latest, most comfortable techniques:
Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning): Under local anesthesia, we meticulously remove plaque and stubborn tartar from below the gum line (scaling). We then smooth the rough spots on the tooth roots (planing) so bacteria have nowhere to hide, allowing the gums to reattach firmly to the teeth.
Laser Gum Therapy: We often incorporate advanced soft-tissue lasers into our periodontal treatments. Lasers gently vaporize diseased tissue and instantly kill bacterial pockets with extreme precision, leading to faster healing, less bleeding, and virtually zero post-operative discomfort.
A Crucial Step Before Cosmetic Dentistry
Healthy gums are the absolute prerequisite for any major dental work. If you are traveling to Turkey for a Hollywood Smile, Veneers, or Dental Implants, your gums must be free of inflammation. Placing premium crowns on infected gums is like building a luxury house on a crumbling foundation. Our periodontists will ensure your oral health is flawless before any cosmetic enhancements begin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the deep cleaning procedure (Scaling and Root Planing) painful?
Not at all. We apply a highly effective local anesthetic before the procedure to ensure your gums are completely numb. You will feel some pressure and vibration from the ultrasonic cleaning tools, but you will not feel any pain.
Can gum disease be completely cured?
If caught in the early stage (Gingivitis), it is 100% reversible with professional cleaning and excellent home care. Advanced Periodontitis cannot be “cured” because the lost bone does not naturally grow back, but it can be successfully treated, managed, and halted to prevent any further tooth loss.
Can receding gums grow back?
Once gum tissue has receded, it does not naturally grow back. However, our treatments stop the recession from getting worse. In severe cases where the tooth root is dangerously exposed, we can perform specialized gum grafting procedures to restore the lost tissue.
Why do my gums bleed when I brush or floss?
Bleeding is your body’s distress signal. It is the first and most common sign of bacterial inflammation (Gingivitis). Healthy gums do not bleed. If you notice pink spit in the sink, it is time to schedule a professional periodontal cleaning.
Does gum disease affect my overall body health?
Yes, significantly. Extensive medical research has directly linked severe periodontal disease to a higher risk of systemic health issues, including heart disease, strokes, uncontrolled diabetes, and complications during pregnancy, as the oral bacteria enter your bloodstream.
Will treating my gum disease cure my bad breath?
In the vast majority of cases, yes. Chronic bad breath (halitosis) is primarily caused by the volatile sulfur compounds released by the bacteria hiding deep within infected gum pockets. Once we clean out these pockets and remove the tartar, the odor-causing bacteria are eliminated.
