Periodontal Disease Management

Where Gum Health Meets Lasting Confidence

Gum disease is one of the most common oral health conditions, yet it often goes unnoticed in its early stages. At Lilac Medical Centre, we provide comprehensive periodontal disease management to help patients prevent, control, and treat gum infections before they lead to more serious complications.

Periodontal disease begins when plaque and bacteria build up around the gum line, leading to inflammation, bleeding, and gum recession. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, which can damage the bone that supports your teeth and eventually lead to tooth loss.

Gum health evaluation

Our approach to managing periodontal disease begins with a thorough evaluation of your gum health. Depending on the severity, treatment may include deep cleaning procedures such as scaling and root planing, targeted medication, or ongoing maintenance therapy. For more advanced cases, surgical intervention may be recommended to remove infection and restore gum tissue.

At Lilac Medical Centre, our goal is not only to treat existing disease but also to help you maintain long-term gum health through education, personalized care plans, and regular follow-ups. With early detection and professional treatment, we can help preserve your natural teeth and protect the foundation of your smile.

FAQs

What is periodontal disease?

Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums and the tissues that support your teeth. It begins as gingivitis, with red, swollen, or bleeding gums, and can progress to periodontitis, which damages bone and can loosen teeth. At Lilac Medical Centre in Abu Dhabi, a specialist periodontist can assess and manage gum disease at every stage.

What are the signs I need gum disease treatment?

Common signs you may need gum disease treatment include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, sensitivity, and loose teeth. Gingivitis is often reversible, while periodontitis needs specialist care. If you notice these symptoms, a periodontist at Lilac Medical Centre in Abu Dhabi can examine your gums and recommend the right plan.

What causes gum disease?

Gum disease is mainly caused by plaque and bacteria building up along the gum line. Contributing factors include poor oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes, hormonal changes, certain medications, and a family history of periodontal problems. Regular cleaning and periodontal assessment at Lilac Medical Centre in Abu Dhabi help identify the cause and guide treatment.

How is gum disease treated?

Gum disease treatment usually starts with a deep clean called scaling and root planing, which removes plaque and tartar above and below the gum line. Advanced cases may need further periodontal procedures. Dr. Dana Mezian, Specialist Periodontist at Lilac Medical Centre in Abu Dhabi, tailors treatment to the severity of your condition.

What is scaling and root planing?

Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure used to treat gum disease. Scaling removes plaque and tartar from the teeth and below the gum line, while root planing smooths the root surfaces so gums can reattach. It is often the first step in periodontal treatment at Lilac Medical Centre in Abu Dhabi.

Does gum disease treatment hurt?

Gum disease treatment is generally well tolerated, and a local anaesthetic is used to keep you comfortable during deep cleaning. You may notice some tenderness or sensitivity for a few days afterwards, which usually settles quickly. The periodontist at Lilac Medical Centre in Abu Dhabi will discuss comfort options before starting treatment.

How long does gum disease treatment take?

The time needed for gum disease treatment depends on the severity of your condition. A routine scaling and root planing session may take around 45 to 60 minutes, and more extensive cases may need several appointments. Your periodontist at Lilac Medical Centre in Abu Dhabi will outline a treatment timeline after assessing your gums.

What is the recovery like after gum disease treatment?

Recovery after gum disease treatment is usually straightforward. You may have mild tenderness, sensitivity, or slight bleeding for a few days, and gentle brushing plus prescribed rinses help healing. Most people return to normal activities the same day. Follow the aftercare advice from your periodontist at Lilac Medical Centre in Abu Dhabi for the best results.

How much does gum disease treatment cost in Abu Dhabi?

The cost of gum disease treatment in Abu Dhabi depends on the severity of the condition, the number of sessions needed, and whether additional periodontal procedures are required. We provide a clear estimate after a consultation. Contact Lilac Medical Centre on 800 999 000 to arrange an assessment and discuss the treatment plan for your gums.

Is gum disease treatment covered by insurance?

Gum disease treatment is often medically necessary, so insurance may contribute to the cost. Lilac Medical Centre works with several providers, including Daman, Thiqa, AXA, and Cigna. Coverage varies by plan, so we recommend confirming your benefits with your insurer or our team on 800 999 000 before your appointment.

What aftercare is needed after gum disease treatment?

After gum disease treatment, good daily care is essential. Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth, use any prescribed mouth rinse, and avoid smoking. Regular maintenance cleanings help keep the disease under control. Your periodontist at Lilac Medical Centre in Abu Dhabi will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your gum health.

Can gum disease come back after treatment?

Gum disease can return if plaque and bacteria are allowed to build up again. Ongoing periodontal maintenance, good home care, and regular check-ups help keep it under control. Dr. Dana Mezian, Specialist Periodontist at Lilac Medical Centre in Abu Dhabi, provides a maintenance plan to help protect your gums after active treatment.

What are the risks of untreated gum disease?

Untreated gum disease can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and eventually loose or lost teeth. Advanced periodontitis has also been linked with wider health concerns. Early treatment protects your teeth and supporting tissues. If you notice bleeding or swollen gums, book an assessment with the periodontist at Lilac Medical Centre in Abu Dhabi.

What are the alternatives to scaling and root planing?

For early gingivitis, an improved cleaning routine and a professional scale and polish may be enough. More advanced periodontitis usually needs scaling and root planing, and sometimes surgical periodontal procedures. Your periodontist at Lilac Medical Centre in Abu Dhabi will explain which option suits the stage of your gum disease.
