 Gingivitis is a gum disease involving the bones that support the teeth. Symptoms include bleeding and a swelling of the gums, bad breath, and pain when biting. As the condition worsens tooth loss will occur. Gum disease such as gingivitis is on the rise. It is estimated that 70 percent of world's population has some form of gum disease. Moreover, about 900 million people suffer from serious gingivitis, many of whom have tried medical treatments but given up. It is not impossible to treat gingivitis. A Proper diagnosis and treatment can improve the condition considerably. Effective medicine for gingivitis including antibiotics is also available in recent years.

Example of treatment I (61-year-old female patient)

|
Before treatment
|
This photograph shows the upper teeth of a patient who lost many front teeth from gingivitis. Although some of the gingivitis symptoms were treated, problems still remain due in part to the patient wearing unfitted dentures for a long time.
A problem in this case is due to the fact that there was no integrated diagnose or treatment plan. Most of the gingivitis cases have an initial symptom of shifting teeth and bleeding gums. If you treat only the symptom, gingivitis will worsen, and you will loose your teeth.

| The second photograph shows a mouth after the treatment. The root of a tooth buried in the bottom of the gum was pulled farther out of the gum, and all teeth and gums were treated without extracting one tooth. Since implant-supported bridge was used for the missing teeth, she no longer has to wear dentures. The result is a beautiful smile and healthy gums. |

This patient had an advanced stage of gingivitis. Since severe symptoms of shifting teeth and swelling gums constantly appeared, he needed an integrated treatment. We first gave him gingivitis medicine, Zithromax and Fungizone Syrup. |

 |
|
Before treatment
|
This patient sought a treatment for swollen gums and shifting teeth. We found that gingivitis had advanced and most of the teeth were loose. |
|
|
The second photograph shows the upper teeth after the treatment. Because the bone structure was damaged, implant-supported bridges were used to connect all teeth. Only two among the fourteen upper teeth were pulled out.
Due to the gingivitis treatment, the gums became healthier and stopped bleeding. The treatment will be extended to the lower teeth. |
