Parodontitis

Periodontitis, occasionally also called periodontal disease, is the inflammation of the periodontal ligament. It is caused by bacteria that accumulate on plaque and biofilm between the teeth and gums.
As a patient, you may notice bleeding gums, for example, when brushing or biting. If left untreated, serious consequences such as loosening of teeth or even the loss of one or more teeth may occur. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the health of your gums and the underlying bone. As with all diseases, early detection is very important. Therefore, you should attend your check-ups regularly. If a need for treatment has been identified, we will be happy to advise you on the various treatment options.
It is important that the bacterial infection is initially suppressed through cleaning measures. This is done as part of a professional dental cleaning. We will discuss with you how to achieve optimal brushing results with your oral care at home. The treatment needs of each individual tooth will then be determined.
After pocket treatment, it is important, depending on your personal risk of periodontitis, to have regular professional dental cleanings. This can prevent a recurrence of acute periodontitis.
