• Warning signs that your gums are unhealthy include bleeding when brushing, gum swelling or sensitivity, bad breath, gum pocket formation, cold sensitivity, and tooth mobility.

Periodontal diseases

Gingivitis The initial form of periodontal disease, characterized by inflammation of the gums. It is reversible if treated in time and with proper care.

Periodontitis A more advanced form, in which the infection involves the supporting tissues and bone surrounding the teeth. In the absence of treatment, it can lead to mobility and tooth loss.

Main causes

Periodontal diseases are mainly caused by the accumulation of bacteria as a result of insufficient oral hygiene. Other contributing factors are:

• Tartar and dental plaque

• Fillings or irregular prosthetic work

• Smoking

• Genetic predisposition

• Diabetes and other chronic diseases

• Stress, pregnancy and hormonal changes

• Use of certain specific medications

Periodontal treatment

Treatment is adapted according to the stage of the disease and the individual condition of the patient.

Non-surgical treatment In the initial stages, the treatment includes professional deep cleaning of the teeth and roots with modern ultrasound equipment, removing plaque, tartar and bacteria even in the most difficult areas. This treatment helps to stop or slow down the progression of the disease. In addition, the following may be recommended:

• Antiseptics & Medical Solutions

• Personalized oral care advice

• Fluoridation for enamel strengthening

• Auxiliary treatments for the sterilization of gum pockets

  
  

Surgical treatment In more advanced cases, when the tissues are more deeply damaged, periodontal surgeries, such as open or closed curettage, may be necessary for the cleaning and regeneration of the supporting tissues. Heightened tooth mobility can also be treated with stabilizing methods, such as tooth splinting or prosthetic solutions.
