Gum pain is often dismissed as a minor irritation from brushing too hard, but it can be the body’s distress signal for a much more serious condition. If you are experiencing persistent discomfort, seeking periodontitis treatment in Turkey can not only save your teeth but also save you thousands of pounds compared to Western dental clinics, all while receiving expert care in a state-of-the-art facility.
Treating advanced gum disease in the UK or USA can be prohibitively expensive, often requiring multiple visits to a specialist. The periodontitis treatment cost in Turkey offers savings of up to 70%, making high-end procedures like laser therapy and flap surgery accessible. While the final price depends on the severity of the infection and whether bone grafting is needed, Dentalays provides premium care at a fraction of the price.
Periodontitis is a serious gum infection that damages the soft tissue and, without treatment, can destroy the bone that supports your teeth. Unlike a simple cavity, periodontitis attacks the foundation of your smile. It is often called a "silent killer" because it can progress painlessly until it reaches an advanced stage where tooth loss becomes inevitable.
Many patients confuse these two terms, but the difference is critical:
This is the earliest stage of gum disease. It is caused by plaque buildup and results in red, swollen gums that bleed easily. Crucially, gingivitis is reversible with professional cleaning and good home care.
If gingivitis is left untreated, it advances to periodontitis. The inner layer of the gum and bone pull away from the teeth and form pockets. Periodontitis is irreversible, meaning lost bone will not grow back, but the condition can be managed and stabilized.
If you notice any of the following symptoms, it is time to consult a specialist immediately:
Periodontitis does not happen overnight. It progresses through stages:

Technically, the bacteria that cause gum disease can be spread through saliva (kissing, sharing utensils). However, whether the disease develops depends on the other person's susceptibility and oral hygiene.
No. Once the disease progresses past gingivitis to periodontitis, calculus (tartar) forms deep under the gum line where a toothbrush and floss cannot reach. Professional deep cleaning is required.
No. At Dentalays, we use local anesthesia to numb the gums completely during Scaling and Root Planing (deep cleaning), ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure.
For standard deep cleaning, one or two visits are sufficient. If surgical intervention (flap surgery) is needed, you may need to stay for 5-7 days to allow for initial healing and suture removal.
Receded gums do not grow back naturally. However, once the disease is stable, we can perform cosmetic gum grafting procedures to restore the gum line if necessary.
