What Is Gum Disease & Periodontal Treatment?
Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection affecting the gingiva (gums), periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone supporting your teeth. It begins as gingivitis — characterized by red, swollen, bleeding gums. If left untreated, the infection advances into periodontitis, where deep pockets form between teeth and gums, destroying bone and eventually causing teeth to become loose and fall out.
At Premier Dental Care in Rahim Yar Khan, our periodontal therapy focuses on arresting bacterial progression. Through deep scaling, root planing, and subgingival antimicrobial irrigation, Dr. Asad Ghafoor and Dr. Azka Zafar stabilize your periodontal foundation and preserve your natural teeth.
Periodontal Treatment Therapies
We provide structured periodontal treatments matched to the severity of your condition:
Periodontal Pocket Charting
Measuring pocket depths across 6 sites per tooth to accurately stage gingivitis vs. periodontitis.
Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
Smoothing root surfaces under local anesthesia to remove bacterial endotoxins and facilitate gum reattachment.
Subgingival Antimicrobial Irrigation
Flushing infected pockets with chlorhexidine or iodine to eradicate anaerobic bacterial pathogens.
Localized Antibiotic Placement
Placing slow-release antimicrobial agents into stubborn deep pockets to promote pocket depth reduction.
Periodontal Maintenance Protocol
Carefully structured 3-month recall cleanings to prevent recurrent bone destruction.
The Periodontal Treatment Protocol
1
Step 1: Diagnostic Probing & Radiographs
We record pocket depths (4mm+) and assess bone loss on digital X-rays.
2
Step 2: Comfortable Local Anesthesia
We numb the affected quadrant so deep cleaning is completely comfortable.
3
Step 3: Deep Root Planing
Specialized periodontal curettes and ultrasonic scalers clean root cementum of all bacterial toxins.
4
Step 4: Re-Evaluation at 6 Weeks
We re-measure pocket depths to confirm tissue shrinkage, reattachment, and cessation of bleeding.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between normal cleaning and deep cleaning?
A normal cleaning removes plaque and tartar above the gumline (supragingival). Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) goes below the gumline to clean infected root surfaces where bone is being lost.
Can periodontitis be cured?
Periodontitis cannot be 'cured' in the sense of regaining all lost bone, but it can be permanently arrested and managed with root planing and maintenance.
Is gum disease linked to heart health and diabetes?
Yes! Clinical research shows chronic periodontal inflammation can worsen blood sugar control in diabetics and is strongly associated with cardiovascular risk.
