Gum Disease Treatment

Gum inflammation may cause bleeding during brushing, redness, swelling, or persistent bad breath. It is often associated with plaque accumulation around the teeth, while hardened tartar can make these areas harder to clean. Early assessment and treatment help protect the gums and the tissues that support the teeth.

At Dr. Ahmed Elwan’s Clinic, care begins with a gum examination, assessment of bleeding, and periodontal pocket measurements when needed. The supporting tissues and bone are also evaluated where appropriate. Treatment depends on the diagnosis and may include plaque and tartar removal, professional cleaning, or deeper cleaning below the gumline.

Maintaining gum health requires ongoing care beyond the treatment appointment. Patients receive guidance on brushing and cleaning between the teeth, alongside a review of relevant factors such as smoking and certain health conditions. Follow-up appointments are tailored to the response to treatment and each patient’s needs.
