We improve your dental health
Periodontics is the dental specialty that is dedicated to the study and treatment of diseases that affect the gums and the tissues that support the teeth, known as the periodontium. The periodontium includes the gums, alveolar bone, periodontal ligament and dental cementum, and is essential for maintaining healthy and functional teeth.
Gum health is essential to maintaining a radiant smile and preventing serious oral problems. If periodontal diseases are not treated properly, they can lead to tooth loss and more serious health complications.
In addition to treatments, it is essential to maintain a proper oral care routine at home and attend regular consultations with your dentist.
Alarming signs
01. Swollen gums
Gums affected by periodontitis are usually red, swollen and tender to the touch. Inflammation is an initial symptom.
02. Bleeding gums
Bleeding gums when brushing, flossing, or biting and chewing food can be an early sign of periodontitis.
03. Receding gums
As the disease progresses, the gums may begin to move away from the teeth, exposing the roots and creating periodontal pockets.
04. Persistent bad breath
Periodontitis can cause constant, unpleasant bad breath, even after brushing your teeth.
05. Tooth sensitivity
Teeth may become sensitive to cold or heat due to exposure of the roots caused by receding gums.
06. Tooth mobility
As the disease progresses and supporting tissues weaken, teeth may become more mobile or loose.
What to do in this case?
Periodontitis treatment
Treatment of periodontitis depends on the severity and extent of the disease. The main goal of treatment is to control the bacterial infection, stop the progression of the disease, and restore the health of the gums and tooth-supporting tissues.
Dental hygiene
Prevention and oral hygiene are essential to maintain a healthy mouth and prevent long-term dental problems. Good daily oral hygiene and regular visits to your dentist are essential steps to avoid diseases such as periodontitis.
