Dentistry focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating conditions of the teeth, gums, and oral structures, supporting oral health and overall well-being.

Preventing bleeding gums depends mostly on your daily care at home. Dental treatments can help, but if you do not clean your teeth and gums every day, the problem will come back. At Liv Hospital, we see our patients as partners in care. We give personalized advice based on your needs, such as if you have braces or bridges. Teaching you the right tools and techniques is the best way to keep your gums healthy for the long term.
The goal of brushing is not just to remove food, but to disorganize the bacterial biofilm.
The Modified Bass Technique
This is the gold standard technique for patients with periodontal disease.
Toothbrushing alone cleans only about 60% of tooth surfaces. The interdental areas (between teeth) are the most vulnerable sites for gum disease and bleeding. Cleaning here is mandatory, not optional.
Dental Floss
For many patients, especially those with larger gaps, gum recession, or periodontal pockets, interdental brushes are superior to floss.
Chemotherapeutics serve as an adjunct to mechanical cleaning.
Therapeutic Mouthrinses
A simple, isotonic solution of warm water and salt (1/2 teaspoon per cup) is a natural anti-inflammatory. It draws fluid out of swollen tissues (osmosis), reduces edema, and soothes bleeding gums.
Tongue Cleaning
The dorsum of the tongue is a reservoir for bacteria that can translocate to the gums and cause bad breath. Using a tongue scraper or brushing the tongue daily reduces the overall bacterial load in the mouth.
Smoking Cessation: Smoking is the most significant modifiable risk factor. Quitting smoking improves blood flow to the gums, enhances the immune response, and dramatically improves the success rate of periodontal treatments.

CT scans use X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images and are excellent for visualizing kidney stones, detecting tumors, and evaluating traumatic injuries. They are fast and widely available. MRI uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of soft tissues, making it superior for staging prostate cancer, evaluating bladder wall invasion, and assessing pelvic floor disorders without ionizing radiation.
Contrast dye, usually iodine-based, is injected into a vein to highlight the blood vessels and urinary tract organs. As the kidneys filter the dye from the blood, it opacifies the urine. This allows the radiologist to see the internal structure of the kidneys, the ureters, and the bladder clearly, revealing blockages, tumors, or structural abnormalities that would be invisible on a non-contrast scan.
Multiparametric MRI is an advanced imaging technique that combines standard anatomical sequences with functional sequences like Diffusion-Weighted Imaging and Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced imaging. This provides a comprehensive assessment of the prostate, allowing doctors to distinguish between benign conditions like BPH and significant prostate cancer, and to guide targeted biopsies.
CT scans do involve exposure to ionizing radiation, which carries a small theoretical risk of cellular damage over time. However, modern CT scanners use dose-modulation technology to minimize this exposure to the lowest level necessary for a diagnostic image. The benefit of an accurate and timely diagnosis for serious urological conditions typically far outweighs the minimal risk of radiation.
Many modern orthopedic implants are MRI-safe, although they may cause some image distortion. However, older pacemakers, defibrillators, and certain metal clips may be unsafe in the strong magnetic field. It is critical to inform the imaging team of any metallic implants so they can verify their safety compatibility or recommend an alternative test like a CT scan.
