Gum whitening is a procedure that is booming around the world thanks to its multiple aesthetic benefits. Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys, general director of the Sonrisa Perfecta Dental spa clinic, explains why every day more people seek to whiten these tissues.
She, along with all the staff at the clinic located in Cartagena de Indias, has witnessed how this procedure has become a trend. She warns that, although dark gums do not indicate a health problem for the person, many think that they are unsightly and that is why they seek to lighten them.
A symbol of good health and dental hygiene
Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys is one of the best dentists in Colombia. Her extensive career has allowed her to be at the most important medical events in the world. One of her greatest concerns has always been to learn about technological advances in the fields of dental health and facial aesthetics.
For this reason, she is one of the first dentists in Colombia to bring the technique of teeth whitening of gums to the country with the use of laser. The Colombian dentist considers that the rise of this treatment is much more than a passing fad. This is because pink gums are associated with good oral and general health of the person who sports them.
The health connotation of the pale pink color is much more than an aesthetic whim. Dr. Loayza Roys indicates that this tone is linked to the thickness of the epithelium, vascularization and the amount of keratin produced by the body. It is also associated with the magnitude of the patient’s pigmentation, which is usually greater in people of African descent.
The new gum whitening at Perfect Dental Smile
Always at the forefront of technology, gum whitening is one of the new services available at the Sonrisa Perfecta Dental spa clinic. Currently there are 3 methodologies for gum whitening. These are surgical depigmentation, microabrasion and laser periodontal treatment.
The latter is the one chosen by Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys and the spa-type clinic Sonrisa Perfecta Dental for her patients. It consists of the application of a substance with particles that are activated by the action of the laser. They delicately remove the upper layer of the gums, which is where the largest amount of melamine is housed.
When this process is complete, the patient’s gums take on a pale pink appearance, thus promoting the aesthetic beauty that many people seek. Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys highlights that this procedure is extremely fast and safe, in addition to being very minimally invasive. The recovery process is simple and does not require further care.
Warning signs of gums
Dark gums are not a cause of concern for the person. Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys reiterates that it is very common in patients who have a phenotype with a higher concentration of melamine. It is a genetic factor that is transmitted from generation to generation, therefore, it does not respond to any habit.
However, there are specific situations in which it is necessary to go to the dentist. For example, when the gums take on an abnormally whitish, red or purple appearance. In these cases, it is essential to seek a specialized examination because this appearance may indicate the existence of some disease or infection.
