Periodontitis (popularly known as "parodontosis") usually shows itself as bleeding gums when brushing your teeth. A massive sensitivity of your teeth to cold or warm food can also indicate periodontitis. The consequence of periodontitis is inflammation and loss of the teeth supporting structures. Both the gums and the jawbone are affected.
Periodontitis is the second most common oral disease after tooth decay. Approximately 80% of all people have this disease. It is the main cause of teeth falling out. It is now scientifically proven that cardiovascular diseases (atherosclerosis), heart attacks, cerebral infarctions and premature births are associated with periodontitis.
Starting with inflammation of the gums, the disease moves on and penetrates into the depths of the tooth bed where the teeth are stored. The retraction of the gums can no longer be stopped and the bone is broken down more and more. The teeth become loose and painful. Periodontitis usually proceeds without pain and lasts for years. The disease is mainly the result of poor oral hygiene.
The main treatment for periodontal disease usually takes place after about 4 weeks, so that the effects of professional teeth cleaning can initially show their effects. Depending on the severity of the periodontitis, individual therapeutic measures are applied, which we will of course discuss with you beforehand.
Even after the successful treatment of periodontal disease, you should help prevent it from sprouting again. We therefore recommend regular check-ups, professional teeth cleaning and treatment of the gums.
