Treatment of periodontitis

The most popular dental disease is, of course, tooth decay. It occurs on both permanent and baby teeth. Often, we are so focused on fighting tooth decay that we overlook problems related to our gums. The soft tissues that make up the gums are exposed to damage every day. Many people are also affected by periodontal disease, a gum disease. In our clinic, we help combat it.

How to treat periodontal disease? As soon as possible!

In the case of periodontal disease (gum disease), action should be taken immediately upon noticing symptoms of the disease. Often, the initial symptoms of periodontal disease include bleeding gums during daily tooth brushing and mouth rinsing.

Our clinic also treats various gum diseases, so we welcome you! Our team includes specialists in periodontology. They are experts in their field, and your gum problem will not be a challenge for them. Our specialists know precisely how to approach such problems. Periodontal disease will not be a challenge either. The treatment applied in our clinic will allow you to quickly get rid of the problem.

In cases of periodontal disease, treatment should be started as soon as possible. This disease initially attacks the gums (gum inflammation), but if we do not opt for swift treatment, periodontal disease will also affect the bones to which the roots of our teeth are attached. As a result, tooth mobility can occur, ultimately leading to tooth loss. Therefore, try to prevent it by monitoring not only your teeth but also your gums.

Gum diseases are, next to tooth decay, the greatest enemy of our teeth. Slowly and insidiously, they destroy the soft tissues (gums) and hard tissues (bone) surrounding the tooth, and if left untreated, they inevitably lead to tooth mobility and are a cause of tooth loss. The main cause of gum diseases is bacteria in dental plaque.

How to recognize gum inflammation - symptoms of periodontal disease

The first warning sign is gum bleeding that occurs during daily tooth brushing or when biting on hard foods. Unfortunately, the development of gum disease often occurs without symptoms, which can delay diagnosis by several years! So, what should you do to protect yourself from gum disease?

The key is to eliminate dental plaque!

Every 6 months, you should visit a dental hygienist for check-ups and professional removal of dental calculus. It is the dental hygienist who, during hygiene procedures, can recognize the initial signs of gum inflammation and refer the patient to a periodontist - a specialist in the treatment of gum diseases. Unfortunately, we cannot completely cure gum inflammation, even with proper oral hygiene.

Our actions aim to slow down or halt the progression of gum diseases and gum disease.

This requires a lot of commitment and determination, not only from the doctor but, above all, from the patient. The first stage of periodontal treatment usually involves several hygiene procedures (sometimes as often as every 3 months), as well as intensive instructions and training in proper daily oral hygiene. During such visits, appropriate items for proper home oral hygiene are selected, mistakes are corrected, and the patient is motivated to fight dental plaque on a daily basis.

Periodontics is not only professional teeth cleaning but also:

• curettage, deep cleaning of the subgingival area (gum pockets), often necessary in the treatment of gum disease to eliminate inflammation,
• surgical procedures aimed at regenerating tissues affected by chronic inflammation,
• splinting of loose teeth, which increases the comfort of patients with advanced gum disease,
• treatment of gum recession (severely exposed tooth necks), e.g., through surgical procedures using gum grafts to replenish missing tissue around the tooth neck,
• aesthetic plastic surgery of overgrown gums,
• lengthening of clinical crowns of teeth broken subgingivally, which allows "saving" teeth from extraction and enables their correct prosthetic reconstruction,
• diagnosis and treatment of changes on the oral mucosa,
• diagnosis and treatment of disorders occurring in the oral cavity in the course of systemic diseases.
