Periodontal disease is an unpleasant problem. It is accompanied by toothache and bleeding gums; if you notice these symptoms in yourself, please contact us as soon as possible to avoid further complications!
How Can You Recognize Periodontal Disease?
- When brushing your teeth or using dental floss, your gums bleed.
- tender to touch, darker in colour, tense, visibly inflamed
- More sensitive and painful at the neck of the tooth, at the junction of the tooth crown and gum, when brushing teeth or consuming hot and cold food and drinks.
- will become movable
- rotting teeth drift, deviate from their original position within a short time, fall over, move
- The leaf is becoming increasingly unpleasant, no matter how many times it is washed.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, then your gums are diseased, and you have periodontal disease.
The source of the disease must be sought at the root of the tooth, we must go down there, the problem can only be solved there, only in this way can we save your teeth.
In the case of gingivitis and periodontal disease, a pocket forms between the root of the tooth and the surrounding tissues. This pocket is filled with plaque and tartar, as well as inflammatory tissues, the removal of which is the dentist's job.
Do not try this at home, you will only cause yourself further pain, injury, and risk of inflammation!
Please seek the help of our experienced and meticulous dentists and specialist periodontists, who will always endeavour to treat your periodontal disease painlessly with great dedication and expertise, save your teeth from falling out, and assist you with their advice in maintaining long-term health.
Leave the treatment of your gum disease to us!
Steps to eliminate gum disease:
- over the case the possible Scale removal and the polishing of your teeth
- deep cleaning with anaesthesia, or so-called closed curettage
- open curettage of the affected, particularly problematic teeth, with exposure of the soft tissues around the teeth
Our closed and open curettage treatments are completely painless. In many cases, we perform these tooth-saving treatments with our laser dental equipment. The reason for this is that their application guarantees much faster healing, to maximise anti-inflammatory effects and completely remove bacteria hiding beneath the gums.
Laser treatments do not include the removal of fillings previously placed in the tooth, and in some cases an anaesthetic injection is required for laser treatments. The various benefits of laser dental treatments vary in the extent to which they are used. We aim to ensure that our patients' treatments are as relaxing and painless as possible.
In cases of periodontal disease, establishing a correct diagnosis requires pocket probing depth measurements using specialised periodontal probes, recording the parameters obtained, and a thorough review of appropriate X-ray images is also essential.
Therefore, Please bring your existing X-rays with you, or ask our colleagues for help on where you could have one made. As a supplementary examination, microbiological sampling may also be necessary, which will provide more precise information about what pathogen may be behind your problem. This way, we can target the periodontal disease, even with antibiotic prophylaxis.
Gum disease can be hereditary
If your parents or grandparents also had similar symptoms or problems that indicate gum disease, there is a high chance that you also have latent or active gum disease. If you are aware of this and also care about the health of your children's teeth, bring them to our practice as well, so that we can take action against the development of the disease in time!
