Professional gum treatment (periodontology)

Every third person in Germany suffers from periodontitis. Anyone who suffers from this has to fight with an inflammation of the tooth-holding apparatus – also called periodontium. This spreads from the gumline to the tooth cement and the root skin and is a common cause of tooth loss, especially as we age.

What is periodontitis?

Periodontitis usually progresses slowly and initially does not cause pain. Periodontitis only becomes noticeable with the appearance of regular bleeding gums, reddening and swelling of the gum tissue and unpleasant bad breath. As a result, there are so-called gum pockets, which may secrete secretions. This can lead to loosening and ultimately loss of teeth, which can only be compensated for by dentures. These pockets go hand in hand with a decrease in gums and sensitive tooth necks, but a change in the tooth position can also be the result. Periodontitis can progress chronically (gradually) or aggressively (within a few weeks).

Periodontitis (dentistically correct: periodontitis) is a real widespread disease, which affects about 80 percent of people over 40 in their lifetime in this country. It is initially a painless and basically easy to get hold of bacterial inflammation, but it can have far-reaching consequences if left untreated. The most important thing is regular check-ups at the dentist: he recognizes periodontitis early on and can start treatment immediately.

Only when periodontitis progresses will there be a comprehensive one periodontal Therapy necessary. It focuses on two things: On the one hand, it has the unconditional goal of stopping the progressive inflammation; on the other hand, it is an important measure for the long-term preservation of the tissue that supports the teeth.
