Periodontology is a branch of dentistry dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases affecting the tissues surrounding the teeth, such as the gums, periodontal ligaments, and bone. Periodontal treatment is necessary in cases of gum inflammation (gingivitis) or advanced periodontal diseases, such as periodontitis, which can lead to loose teeth and tooth loss. The main signs that you may need a periodontist’s help include bleeding, swelling, or redness of the gums, bad breath, or tooth sensitivity. Timely treatment helps prevent complications and ensures the health of your teeth and oral cavity.
Before beginning treatment for periodontal disease, the condition of the patient’s oral cavity is assessed during a consultation, and a personalized treatment plan is developed. Treatment for periodontal disease depends on the severity of the condition.
If periodontal disease is not advanced, in most cases, professional dental cleaning and improved personal oral hygiene may be sufficient to prevent its progression.
In complex cases, other procedures may be necessary, such as deep pocket cleaning (curettage or non-surgical treatment) or surgical treatment (flap surgery).
To ensure good, long-lasting results, impeccable personal hygiene and follow-up care—including regular professional dental hygiene procedures (at the frequency recommended by your dentist)—are essential after treatment is completed.
During surgical treatment, the gums are reshaped and repositioned so that they once again properly cover the tooth. A gum substitute or the patient’s own tissue is used to restore lost gum tissue.
Gum recession, bone loss, and tooth shifting not only affect the aesthetics of your smile, but also make chewing and daily oral hygiene more difficult.
If gum inflammation is left untreated, bacteria can spread to deeper tissues, causing more serious infections and inflammation throughout the body.
Untreated periodontal disease can lead to bone loss around the teeth, which eventually causes tooth mobility and tooth loss.
Periodontal disease is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other chronic health problems.
