What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease is a common pathology in daily practice. When the disease affects only the gums around the teeth, we refer to it as gingivitis (inflammation of the gums). When it also affects the underlying bone around the teeth, we refer to it as periodontitis (periodontal disease).
Gingivitis is a reversible condition that can be cured with proper treatment.
Periodontitis results in the loss of bone around the teeth. In periodontitis, the lost bone cannot be restored, but it is important to limit the bone loss and maintain the bone level where it has reached. If no measures are taken, bone loss will continue, and the disease will progress to the point of losing all teeth.
Treatment
The treatment of periodontal disease halts the bone loss around the teeth. It is a misconception that bone loss is a normal and inevitable condition with aging. The success of the treatment depends primarily on the serious commitment of both the patient and the clinician.
What does the treatment involve?
- Following all recommendations regarding cleaning and maintenance at home.
- Professional treatment and cleaning of both the teeth and surrounding tissues.
- Regular visits to your dentist at individually determined intervals for each patient.
What solution does the dental clinic Donident team offer, and why should you choose us?
Our team uses the most innovative periodontal chart, which serves as a roadmap that details periodontitis and sets individual timelines that must be followed for effective treatment.
How is the periodontal chart created?
- The periodontal chart is filled out by the clinician after a painless clinical examination, which shows us the loss of attachment (the connection of the tooth to the bone), the level of already lost bone, and additional factors that exacerbate and lead to the progression of periodontal disease.
- The dental clinic Donident team has extensive experience in periodontology and the necessary technology to carry out the treatment process.
- We offer you tracking and reminders for each of your next visits according to the already created individual periodontal chart for you.
- The success of the treatment lies in serious home care and regular professional treatment.
