Our team of highly trained and experienced periodontists is committed to providing you with specialized and personalized care. We offer a wide range of treatments to combat the most common periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis, periodontitis, and severe periodontitis.
Treatment of Gingivitis
Gingivitis is an early stage of periodontal disease characterized by inflammation of the gums. We offer effective treatments to control and reverse gingivitis, including professional cleanings, removal of bacterial plaque, and instruction on proper oral hygiene techniques.
Treatment of Periodontitis
Periodontitis is a more advanced form of periodontal disease that can damage the tissues supporting the teeth and lead to tooth loss. We use advanced techniques, such as scaling and root planing, to remove bacterial plaque and tartar, thereby promoting the healing of the affected tissues.
Treatment of Severe Periodontitis
Severe periodontitis is an advanced and aggressive form of periodontal disease that requires specialized care. Among the personalized treatments for severe periodontitis, periodontal surgery and bone and tissue regeneration techniques are particularly noteworthy. These procedures help restore the health of your gums and prevent tooth loss.
Stages of Periodontal Disease
Symptoms of Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, can present a variety of symptoms that indicate a problem with the tissues surrounding the teeth. It is important to be aware of these symptoms so you can seek appropriate treatment and prevent the disease from progressing. The following is a list of the most common symptoms of periodontal disease:
Swollen gums: Gums affected by periodontal disease are usually red, swollen, and tender to the touch. You may notice that your gums look more swollen or have a shiny appearance.
Bleeding gums: Bleeding gums are one of the earliest signs of periodontal disease. You may notice bleeding when you brush your teeth, floss, or even when you eat hard foods.
Persistent bad breath: The buildup of bacterial plaque and the development of gum infections can cause bad breath that does not go away even after brushing your teeth and using mouthwash.
Gum recession: As periodontal disease progresses, the gums may recede and pull away from the teeth. This can make the teeth appear longer and the tooth roots more exposed.
Tooth sensitivity: Exposure of the tooth roots due to gum recession can cause tooth sensitivity. You may experience pain or discomfort when consuming hot, cold, or sweet foods or beverages.
Tooth mobility: As periodontal disease progresses and affects the tissues that support the teeth, the teeth may become more mobile or loose. In advanced cases, tooth loss may occur.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek dental care right away. A periodontist can evaluate the condition of your gums and recommend the necessary treatment to manage periodontal disease and maintain good oral health.
