Periodontitis treatment

With the help of diagnostic systems, we determine the most suitable treatment plan

Periodontitis is a serious oral disease that often develops as a result of long-term gingivitis. Its course is usually chronic and is frequently associated with insufficient oral hygiene. The condition may manifest through bad breath, bleeding gums, the formation of periodontal pockets, bone loss, loose teeth or gaps appearing between teeth.

What are the typical symptoms of periodontitis?

bleeding and swollen gums
bad breath
formation of periodontal pockets
loosening or mobility of teeth

How can periodontitis be treated and its progression slowed?

thorough diagnostics and regular check-ups
professional dental hygiene
an individual treatment plan based on the patient’s condition
consistent home care for teeth and gums

In more advanced stages, gum recession, abscess formation, accumulation of pus or bone loss around the teeth may occur. Tartar can develop not only above the gum line but also below it. In some cases, the first tooth loss may occur as early as around the age of 45.

Proper diagnosis and regular dental hygiene allow specialists to assess the probable development of the disease and recommend an appropriate treatment plan. If you have been diagnosed with periodontitis, your dentist or dental hygienist will prepare an individual care program to help stop the progression of the disease.

Gum problems may initially show only mild symptoms, which is why regular visits to a dentist or dental hygienist are very important. Many cases of tooth loss in adulthood are not caused by tooth decay but by gum disease.
