Gum Disease Treatment in Turkey
Gum disease (periodontal disease) affects nearly half of adults over 30 and is the leading cause of tooth loss. Turkey offers advanced periodontal treatments from deep cleaning to surgical interventions at affordable prices.
Stages of Gum Disease
- Gingivitis: Early stage with red, swollen gums that bleed easily
- Mild Periodontitis: Gums begin receding, pockets form around teeth
- Moderate Periodontitis: Bone loss begins, teeth may become loose
- Advanced Periodontitis: Significant bone loss, tooth loss possible
Treatment Options
Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) treats mild to moderate cases. Laser gum treatment offers a minimally invasive alternative. For advanced cases, flap surgery, bone grafting, and guided tissue regeneration may be required.
Periodontal treatment in Turkey costs 60-70% less than in the UK, with experienced periodontists using the latest technology including Er:YAG lasers and microsurgical techniques.
