Why treat it

The leading cause of tooth loss in adults.

Gum disease silently destroys the bone supporting your teeth. Caught in time, it stabilises; ignored, it leads to loosening then tooth loss.

Bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, loose teeth: these signs should alert you. The earlier the treatment, the simpler and more effective it is.

The process

A progressive, monitored treatment.

Step 01

Full periodontal assessment

Probing of periodontal pockets, X-rays, analysis of tooth mobility. This determines the disease stage and guides the protocol.

Step 02

Motivation and hygiene

Before any treatment, we teach you suitable brushing and interdental hygiene. Your involvement is decisive.

Step 03

Scaling and root planing

Supra- and sub-gingival tartar is removed with ultrasound and curettes. Root surfaces are planed to remove the bacterial biofilm.

Step 04

Re-evaluation at 6–8 weeks

After healing, the assessment is repeated. In most cases non-surgical treatment is enough; some cases need surgery.

Step 05

Periodontal maintenance

An appointment every 3 to 6 months is essential. The disease is chronic — once stabilised, it is monitored to avoid relapse.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I have gum disease?

Bleeding gums, redness, swelling, receding gums, loose teeth, persistent bad breath. These symptoms require a consultation.

Is periodontitis contagious?

Bacteria can be transmitted via saliva (shared utensils), especially within a household. Close relatives are advised to be checked too.

Is periodontal surgery painful?

It is done under local anaesthesia. After-effects (mild pain, swelling) are managed with simple painkillers. Healing in 2 to 4 weeks.

Can I have implants with periodontitis?

An implant can only be placed once periodontitis is stabilised. Active periodontitis is a major failure factor.
