Periodontics

Periodontology is generally known as the field that treats so-called periodontitis. It is an inflammatory disease of the hinge apparatus of the tooth. This inflammation is caused by poor hygiene, when plaque builds up on the teeth and transforms into tartar. Dental plaque is made up of a community of bacteria that cause inflammation of the gums. This is manifested by bleeding gums. Gingivitis progresses to periodontitis. Here, the bone around the tooth is already damaged, which slowly begins to dissolve due to the activity of the bacteria. This process can lead to significant wobbling and subsequent tooth loss.

The easiest way to prevent this process is to visit your dentist and dental hygienist regularly.

If you already suffer from periodontitis, it is important to start dental hygiene as soon as possible. In addition, surgical treatment of this disease is possible, which usually starts with the regeneration of bone defects. However, this surgical phase takes place only after a well done dental hygiene phase.

We also perform surgical coverage of the tooth necks. It is a method by which we can put the gum that has receded from the neck of the tooth back into place. This method has a relatively high success rate, but at the same time strict indications. Again, it is important to have very good dental hygiene.
