PERIODONTOLOGY

PERIODONTOLOGY

Sensitive and receding gums are problems treated by modern periodontology. Healthy gums and healthy jawbone are the basis for healthy teeth. Teeth require sound foundations. Modern periodontal treatment methods are based on the reconstruction and regeneration of the bone damaged by inflammation. Periodontitis causes many teeth diseases. It is very important to remove dental plaque and tartar. From the outside, a tooth may seem perfectly healthy, but the base in the jaw supporting the tooth may be inflamed. Timely diagnosis based on a detailed analysis and a study of genetic predispositions enables a fast and targeted treatment.

If the tissue surrounding a tooth is already affected by a disease, special methods of antibiotic treatment may be employed in order to fight the bacteria present in the oral cavity and gums. After that the root canal is cleaned and treated, trying to avoid the extraction of the tooth. A standard or surgical treatment solves a lot of problems: the inflammation is removed, the bone is reconstructed and the stability of the tooth increases. The aesthetics of the gum line makes a smile more beautiful, and this can be accomplished with the right periodontal treatments.
