As a periodontist,
[00:00:08.645]
when we have diagnosed
a patient with gum diseases,
[00:00:12.286]
then we will start
with a comprehensive examination
[00:00:15.144]
that include considering
the dental health and medical health
[00:00:19.886]
like medical history,
[00:00:21.515]
and that will also include
some essential radiograph
[00:00:26.086]
that will help us to assess
the severity and stages of the diseases.
[00:00:30.986]
We can give
a proper treatment plan for the patients.
[00:00:34.930]
We are also considering the patient care.
[00:00:38.243]
We are giving time to ask the questions.
[00:00:41.771]
We are making the patient
more comfortable.
[00:00:45.086]
It depends on the severity
of the diseases.
[00:00:47.472]
We are giving so many treatment options.
[00:00:49.986]
Those patients need
gum grafting surgeries.
[00:00:52.887]
Those patients have receding gums.
[00:00:55.843]
We can do a gum grafting surgeries
for this patient.
[00:00:59.843]
Some patients like there are severity.
[00:01:02.629]
If the disease is very severe,
[00:01:05.072]
like they lost the bone
or something like this,
[00:01:07.444]
then we can do a regenerative procedures
[00:01:09.957]
to regenerate the bone
which is lost during the periodontitis.
[00:01:13.971]
I strongly believe this patient care
is very essential for the practice.
[00:01:17.971]
It's like we have to give
a normal and calm environment
[00:01:21.844]
to open up the concern from the patients,
like they can ask the question to us.
[00:01:27.357]
We have successfully treated
so many challenging cases,
[00:01:30.558]
such as the patients with receding gums
[00:01:34.100]
and those patients
with complex severity in bone diseases
[00:01:39.386]
like bone loss
with the regenerative procedures.
[00:01:43.814]
We have used laser techniques
[00:01:46.314]
to decrease the pain
during the procedures.
