Types of conditions treated with Periodontics

Gingivitis

It is a superficial inflammation of the gum, generally identified by bleeding during brushing. If not properly treated, it can progress to Periodontitis

Periodontitis

It is a deeper infection that causes the formation of periodontal pockets and the loss of bone that supports the tooth. These gum diseases usually evolve painlessly and silently, becoming clearly manifest only in advanced stages. Therefore, early diagnosis is fundamental for effective treatment.

Gingivitis and Periodontitis Treatments

These diseases are more common than believed and often are not given the necessary importance, assuming that bleeding gums is something normal.

The treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis follows several important steps to restore gum health and prevent tooth loss.

In the initial phase, scaling and root planing is performed to remove tartar and bacteria from below the gums, accompanied by precise instructions on oral hygiene techniques and their correct application.

In more advanced cases, it may be necessary to proceed to a second treatment phase that includes minor gum surgeries to correct defects left by periodontal disease.

Finally, a regular maintenance program is established to monitor and prevent disease recurrence, especially if previously identified risk factors persist. This follow-up is crucial to ensure that gums remain healthy and to avoid future complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs of gum disease?
Early signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and gum recession. Advanced symptoms may include loose teeth, painful chewing, and pus between teeth and gums. Regular dental checkups help detect gum disease in its early, treatable stages.
Is periodontal treatment painful?
Modern periodontal treatments are performed with local anesthesia and advanced techniques to minimize discomfort. Non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing cause minimal pain. We also offer sedation options for anxious patients and more complex procedures.
How often should I have periodontal maintenance?
Patients with a history of gum disease typically need periodontal maintenance every 3-4 months instead of standard 6-month cleanings. This frequency helps prevent disease recurrence and maintains gum health. Your periodontist will recommend the ideal schedule for your specific needs.
