Periodontitis is nowadays the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. In recent years, it has also been associated with the development of cardiovascular problems, diabetes, the birth of premature – or even underweight – babies and obesity.
Bleeding, swollen gums are signs of gingivitis. When gingivitis is left untreated, it can advance to periodontitis. In this case the inflammation affects not only the gums but also the bone that surrounds the tooth.
Moreover, bad breath is very often caused bypoor periodontal health and inflammation of the periodontal tissues.
To deal with periodontal disease, early diagnosis and treatment is important. In its initial stages this can be done successfully by the general dentist, but in more advanced stages a periodontologist is the appropriate specialist.
In addition, an important part of periodontal treatment is the maintenance of the health, function and aesthetics of the implant tissue, as well as surgical plastic and gum microsurgery to improve smile aesthetics.
