Periodontal Protocol in Tijuana for Gum Enlargement Caused by Blood Pressure Medication


A patient visited our clinic seeking treatment for a noticeable gum infection. During her comprehensive evaluation, we discovered she takes daily prescription medication for arterial hypertension, which had the secondary effect of causing severe gum enlargement. Dr. Alexandra González performed a complete periodontal protocol, performing full-mouth scaling and root planing followed by specialized bone graft surgeries. The treatment achieved an entirely successful outcome, resolving the infection and restoring the natural contour of her gums before she was safely discharged.
