Laser Gum Treatment for Periodontal Disease
Symptoms of periodontal disease include painful, swollen, and bleeding gums, especially after brushing. If these symptoms are ignored, the disease progresses, causing more damage and eventually bone loss.
What Exactly Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition that affects the tissues that support the gums and teeth. It is responsible for 70% of adult tooth loss. When detected early, periodontal diseases can be successfully and easily treated.
The benefits of prevention include:
- Preservation of natural teeth
- Easier chewing
- Improved digestion

Gum Shaping
Gum shaping is a procedure performed by expert staff at Antalya Dental Clinic. It involves cutting or removing excess gum tissue around the teeth. The process improves the appearance of teeth or smiles but may also be recommended for oral health reasons.
How Long Is the Recovery Period After Gum Shaping?
Recovery after gingival reshaping is fairly quick, but full recovery may take days or weeks, depending on the extent of the surgery. Following the procedure, your gums and mouth will be sensitive, so you should consume soft foods for about 2 to 3 days, such as:
- Soup
- Yogurt
- Apple
- Mashed potatoes
Our expert staff will provide nutritional instructions after the procedure and advise on any foods to avoid during the recovery period. A follow-up appointment will usually be scheduled a few days or a week after the procedure to monitor healing and check for signs of infection.
Is Gum Shaping A Painful Procedure?
Before starting the gum shaping process, the treatment area is anesthetized with local anesthesia, ensuring a painless experience. For more detailed information about gum shaping, contact Yalın Dental Clinic.
