Paradontosis Treatment in Chiangmai International Dental Clinic (CIDC)

Care for paradontosis, or gum disease, at Chiangmai International Dental Clinic (CIDC) in Chiang Mai, Thailand, includes diagnosis, deep cleaning, medication, and gum surgery. A checkup and consultation are free, while scaling, root planing, and polishing may cost around $40–$70. The clinic has a dedicated periodontic unit led by a periodontist and holds Thai Dental Clinic Accreditation.

Periodontal checks and imaging

The clinic assesses gum disease stage through a periodontal examination. The free checkup and consultation do not include X-rays, medications, or an official printed treatment plan.

• Gum pocket depth: Measures the depth and extent of gum attachment loss.
• Bleeding and recession checks: Assess bleeding, exposed roots, and gum recession.
• Tooth mobility and furcation checks: Look for looseness and bone loss between tooth roots.
• Bite analysis: Checks how bite force is distributed.
• Dental X-rays: Radiography is available as part of the diagnostic workup.

Non-surgical gum treatment

Deep cleaning is used for gingivitis and periodontitis, including cases with significant root exposure. Scaling and root planing clean tooth and root surfaces, removing plaque and calculus. Teeth are then polished with brushes or an ultrasonic water spray.

• Scaling, root planing, and polishing: The listed price is around $40–$70. X-rays, medication, and a per-visit sterilization fee are not included.
• Periodontal medication: May be used alongside deep cleaning to control infection.

Gum surgery options

For advanced periodontitis with significant tooth mobility or bone damage, periodontal surgery can address deep pockets and affected areas that non-surgical care cannot reach. The clinic provides post-operative instructions for periodontal gum surgery and endosurgery.

• Gingivectomy: Removes excess or diseased gum tissue.
• Gum graft: Can cover exposed roots and rebuild gum tissue affected by recession.
• Crown-lengthening gum surgery: Exposes more tooth structure for restoration and can improve gum appearance.

The clinic is part of the JCI-accredited Bangkok International Dental Center network. Scheduled six-month maintenance visits are noted for periodontal care. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.
