Periodontology focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting the soft tissues and supporting structures of the teeth.
It is estimated that one in three adults suffers from some form of periodontal disease, with periodontitis being the most severe stage.

Timely periodontal treatment is crucial to prevent unpleasant complications, including the ultimate consequence—tooth loss.

The Four Most Common Periodontal Problems

Gingivitis

Gingivitis is the earliest stage of gum disease, characterized by redness, swelling, sensitivity, and bleeding gums when brushing or flossing.If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to gum recession, periodontitis, and eventually, tooth loss.Fortunately, with early diagnosis and professional treatment, gingivitis is reversible.

Gum Recession (Gingival Recession)

Gum recession refers to the gradual loss of gum tissue, exposing the roots of the teeth.
It can be caused by a variety of factors, including aggressive brushing, periodontal disease, and genetic predisposition.

Consequences of untreated gum recession include:

• Increased tooth sensitivity
• Aesthetic concerns (longer-looking teeth)
• Loosening and loss of teeth over time

Early intervention can help prevent further damage and restore gum health.

Periodontal Pockets

Periodontal pockets are pathological spaces that form between the teeth and gums, where bacteria and toxins accumulate.Symptoms may include: persistent bad breath, inflammation and bleeding of the gums,progression to advanced periodontitis.

Treatment involves: Deep scaling and root planing to thoroughly clean and disinfect the pockets.Eliminating bacteria and allowing the gums to reattach to the tooth surfaces

Periodontitis

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of the supporting structures of the teeth, primarily caused by bacterial infection from dental plaque.If not treated in time, periodontitis leads to:

• Severe gum and bone damage
• Loosening of teeth
• Eventual tooth loss

Signs of periodontitis include:

• Persistent gum inflammation
• Gum recession
• Formation of deep pockets between teeth and gums
• Tooth mobility
