Treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis
If you have red swollen bleeding gums, if you suspect that you have bad breath, or if your teeth are shaking and you are afraid that you will lose them, then it is very likely that you have a periodontal disease (gingivitis or periodontitis).
A periodontist is a specialist dentist who can diagnose and treat diseases of the tissues that support your teeth in a timely manner.
Gum health is the basic condition for proceeding with any dental work (fillings, bridges, incisors, implants).
A large part of the population suffers from some form of periodontal disease without knowing it, as its progression is slow and painless.
The periodontist can offer you a wide range of services, whether it is a preventive examination of the health of your gums and a simple cleaning of the teeth, or it is a more complex treatment for the restoration of the health of your gums, if necessary.
In addition, if you have a history of premature tooth loss from your parents at a relatively young age, if you are taking medication for your heart, if you have diabetes (diabetes), if you are or are about to become pregnant, a visit to the dentist is necessary to find out if you need his help.
The periodontist can:
- a) remove the stone that is deep inside the gums
- b) to stop bleeding, swelling, and pus
- c) to stop the change of position of the gums, when the roots are stripped and the teeth look bigger, while creating unsightly gaps between them that gather food
- d) to stabilize rocking teeth
