Periodontitis
The periodontium includes the tissues that support and protect the teeth:
Gums
Bone
Periodental ligament
Damage to these structures leads to loosening and eventually loss of teeth.
Periodontal diseases
Periodontology mainly includes the treatment of two types of diseases:
Gingivitis
Inflammation of the gums, characterized by bleeding, redness, and swelling. If treated promptly, it is completely reversible.
Periodontitis
A severe form in which bone tissue is also damaged. It can lead to loosening and loss of teeth.
Symptoms that should not be ignored
Bleeding gums
Foul odor in the mouth
Recession of the gums
Teeth grinding
Discomfort or pain when chewing
Why do periodontal problems develop?
The main cause is bacterial plaque, but there are additional risk factors:
Poor hygiene
Smoking
Hormonal changes
Genetic factors
Chronic diseases
Periodontal treatment
The treatment plan is determined individually and may include:
Professional cleaning (removal of calculus and plaque)
