Healthy gums are the foundation of healthy teeth.
Healthy Gums – The Basis for Long-Term Dental Health
Healthy teeth require a healthy foundation. The gums and periodontium ensure that your teeth remain securely anchored in the jaw.
Gum inflammation often develops insidiously and remains unnoticed for a long time. This makes it all the more important to recognize early signs and treat them promptly.
Our goal is to maintain the health of your gums and protect your natural teeth long-term.
What is Periodontitis?
Periodontitis is a bacterial inflammation of the periodontium. If left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, jawbone loss, and ultimately tooth loss.
The good news: If detected early, periodontitis can often be successfully treated, and its progression significantly slowed down.
How do I recognize gum disease?
Possible signs include:
- Bleeding gums when brushing
- Red or swollen gums
- Bad breath
- Receding gums
- Sensitive tooth necks
- Loose teeth
Symptoms do not always occur. Therefore, regular check-ups are particularly important.
Our Treatment
Before each treatment, we conduct a thorough examination and assess the condition of your gums.
Depending on the findings, we develop an individual treatment plan. The goal is to remove bacterial plaque, reduce inflammation, and halt the progression of the disease.
Even after treatment, we support you with regular check-ups and prophylaxis appointments to ensure the long-term success of the treatment.
Why early treatment is so important
Periodontitis affects more than just the gums.
It can compromise the stability of your teeth long-term and is also associated with various systemic diseases.
Early diagnosis helps maintain your oral health long-term and avoid major treatments whenever possible.
