Periodontitis Treatment

Periodontitis is a chronic condition affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It often develops silently and without pain. If untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can effectively slow or stop its progression.

What are the symptoms of periodontitis?

Typical symptoms include:

  • Bleeding and sensitive gums
  • Bad breath
  • Formation of periodontal pockets
  • Gum recession and exposed tooth necks
  • Loose or shifting teeth
  • Tartar buildup above and below the gum line

Why is periodontitis treatment important?

  • Untreated periodontitis is one of the most common causes of tooth loss in adults
  • It progresses quietly and can lead to irreversible damage to the supporting structures of the teeth
  • Early treatment helps stop the progression of the disease
  • Periodontitis is not a natural part of aging
  • With proper care, teeth can remain healthy for a lifetime

The condition often develops as a result of long-term untreated gum inflammation and inadequate oral hygiene.

How does treatment work?

Treatment is based on a thorough examination and accurate diagnosis of the condition of the gums.

This is followed by professional removal of plaque and tartar above and below the gum line and treatment of periodontal pockets.

The therapy also includes intensive dental hygiene, guidance on proper brushing technique, and an individualised home-care plan.

Treatment is always tailored to the patient’s specific condition. The goal is to stop disease progression and stabilise the gums.

Ozone therapy

Ozone is an effective antibacterial method used as a complementary treatment for gum inflammation, periodontitis, or bad breath.

It helps reduce bacterial load and supports healing of treated areas. The suitability of this method is always assessed individually by a specialist.

Prevention and long-term care

Regular dental hygiene visits, proper brushing technique, and the use of interdental cleaning aids are key to success.

The earlier periodontitis is detected, the simpler and more effective its treatment will be.
