Gum dieses, periodontics

Gum dieses (periodontics) treats periodontitis, an inflammation of tissues that surrounds and supports the teeth or implants in the mouth.

Periodontitis is a very common disease affecting approximately 50% of adults over the age of 30 years. If periodontitis is left untreated it may lead to tooth loss in around 35% cases.

Patients should realize that the gingival inflammation and bone destruction are largely painless. Hence, people may wrongly assume that painless bleeding after teeth cleaning is insignificant, although this may be a symptom of progressing periodontitis.

Symptoms may include the following:
  • occasional redness or bleeding of gums while brushing teeth, using dental floss or biting into hard food (e.g. apples)
  • occasional gum swellings that recur
  • halitosis, or bad breath, and a persistent metallic taste in the mouth
  • gingival recession, resulting in apparent lengthening of teeth
  • deep pockets between the teeth and the gums
  • loose teeth, in the later stages

Prevention:
  • brushing properly on a regular basis (at least twice a day)
  • flossing daily
  • regular dental check-ups. See Diagnosis
  • professional teeth cleaning as required. See Dental hygienic treatment

Treatment:

The stabilization of your periodontal state largely depend on your oral hygiene. Without daily oral hygiene, periodontal disease will not be overcome, especially if you have a history of periodontal disease.

When you visit us 1st you will undergo a Dental hygienic treatment. In advanced cases, there might be a need for periodontal open or closed surgery in order to have better access for cleaning the root surfaces and creating better anatomy of the bone and the gums.

Local anaesthesia or general anaesthesia is offered to avoid any discomfort whatsoever.

During the treatment we diagnose what periodontal disease you suffer from and what treatment can solve your problem.

One very important aspect of the treatment is that you will learn how to perform careful home care, which will prevent you further problems with your teeth and gums.
