Gum treatment or aesthetics is a branch of dentistry that aims to correct gum problems and improve the aesthetics of the smile. This treatment may include treatment of gum disease, gum correction operations, and gum line adjustment. Gum treatment is important for both health and aesthetics because healthy gums have a significant impact on the overall appearance of the smile.
Here are some basic elements of gum treatment or aesthetics:
Treatment of Gum Diseases: Gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis can cause inflammation and recession of the gums. Gum treatment aims to control gum disease, treat inflammation and improve gum health.
Correcting Gum Shape and Color: In some cases, the gum line may be uneven or the gum color may have an undesirable appearance. Gum aesthetics aims to correct such situations. These procedures may include methods such as gum surgery or laser treatment.
Correcting Gum Recession: Gum recession may cause the tooth roots to be exposed and the teeth to shake, causing the patient to feel pain. Graft surgery or other surgical procedures may be performed to correct this condition.
Smile Line Improvement: Gum treatment involves correcting the smile line and aesthetically optimizing the gum line. This highlights the natural beauty of the teeth, making the smile look more attractive and balanced.
