Uijeongbu Gum Treatment, Restoring the Gums Step by Step
If you are looking into gum treatment in Uijeongbu, it is known that bleeding when you brush or swelling of the gums can be an early sign of periodontal disease (gum disease). Dr.Beauty Dental Hospital is at 181 Hoeryong-ro, Uijeongbu-si, a 10-minute walk from Hoeryong Station, and after a detailed gum examination we explain the steps from scaling and root planing through to gum surgery where it is needed.
Gum treatment in Uijeongbu — what should you check?
Periodontal disease is reported to begin when plaque and calculus inflame the gums, causing bleeding and swelling, and, as it progresses, to lead to loss of the alveolar bone so that teeth can become loose. Dr.Beauty Dental Hospital approaches it in stages according to the condition of the gums — scaling (removal of calculus), root planing, and gum surgery — and it is known that the earlier the intervention, the more favorable it is for preserving the teeth.
Scaling under National Health Insurance is available once a year to those aged 19 and over, as set out in Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) notices, and where periodontal disease is present, care at shorter intervals is recommended. Smokers, patients with diabetes, pregnant women, and those with implants have a relatively higher risk of periodontal disease, and it is known that regular care helps.
We are a 10-minute walk from Exit 2 of Hoeryong Station in Uijeongbu, and with night hours until 20:00 on Mondays and Thursdays and weekend hours on Saturdays and Sundays, you can have your gums looked after following weekday work or at the weekend. Bad breath and sensitivity are sometimes linked to gum problems, so where there are symptoms an early check is recommended.

Frequently asked questions
- Q. My gums bleed when I brush — do I need treatment?
- Bleeding gums when brushing is known to be an early sign of periodontal disease (gum disease). When plaque and calculus inflame the gums they swell and bleed, and if left alone the alveolar bone can be lost, so a check is recommended. At Dr.Beauty Dental Hospital, a 10-minute walk from Hoeryong Station, we carry out a detailed gum examination and then explain the stages of treatment, from scaling to root planing.
- Q. Is scaling covered by National Health Insurance?
- Adults aged 19 and over can receive scaling once a year under National Health Insurance, as set out in National Health Insurance Service notices (on an annual basis). Where periodontal disease is present, additional scaling at shorter intervals may be needed, and treatment beyond the covered number of times is carried out as non-covered. The interval suited to your own oral condition is explained after the examination.
- Q. Does gum treatment hurt a lot?
- Scaling removes calculus rather than cutting the tooth itself, and temporary sensitivity afterwards is known usually to settle within a few weeks (it may last longer where there was a lot of calculus or where a deep cleaning was carried out). Root planing and gum surgery, which address deep periodontal pockets, are done under local anesthesia, and we explain how to manage discomfort. The degree of discomfort may differ from person to person.
