Periodontology

Periodontal procedures are aimed at eliminating the cause of inflammation and regenerating damaged tissues. Depending on the stage of the disease, treatment may include:

• professional cleaning of plaque and tartar

• deep scaling and polishing of tooth roots

• laser therapy for selective removal of inflamed tissue

• surgical methods for rehabilitation and regeneration of the periodontium

• aesthetic procedures such as tooth crown lengthening

All procedures are performed with maximum precision and gentleness, to make the therapy as comfortable and effective as possible.

A candidate for periodontal treatment is any person who:

• has red, swollen gums that bleed when brushing

• notices receding gums

• feels tooth mobility

• has chronic bad breath

• has a family predisposition to periodontal disease

• suffers from diabetes or a weakened immune system

Early diagnosis is key to successful treatment. Therefore, regular check-ups with a dentist are recommended.

Before therapy, the patient undergoes a detailed examination that includes:

• periodontal probing with a digital pa-on probe

• x-ray analysis of teeth and bones

• visual assessment of the condition of the gums

• education on proper oral hygiene

Based on the diagnosis, an individual treatment plan is created. If necessary, an initial professional cleaning of the oral cavity is performed.

After the procedure, mild swelling and tenderness may occur, which will disappear within a few days. It is recommended to:

• avoiding hard and spicy foods for the first 48 hours

• enhanced oral hygiene with a soft toothbrush and antiseptic liquid

• avoiding smoking

• regular check-ups every 3 to 6 months

During surgical procedures, the patient receives detailed instructions and, if necessary, antibiotic and analgesic therapy.

After periodontal procedures, it is important to follow the recommended measures to ensure optimal recovery and prevent the condition from worsening again. Here are the key precautions to follow:

• Maintaining excellent oral hygiene – brushing your teeth gently but thoroughly with a soft toothbrush twice a day and using dental floss and/or interdental brushes regularly. An antiseptic mouthwash (e.g. chlorhexidine) is also recommended as directed by your dentist.

• Avoiding smoking – smoking significantly slows down tissue healing, worsens inflammation and increases the risk of disease recurrence. It is recommended to quit smoking completely, especially during the treatment and recovery phase.

• Proper diet – during the first days after the procedure, softer, bland food at room temperature is recommended, without spices and acids that could irritate the gums.

• Avoiding physical exertion – after a procedure, especially a surgical one, strenuous physical activity should be avoided for a few days to prevent increased bleeding or swelling.

• Check-ups – regular check-ups with a dentist every 3 to 6 months are crucial for monitoring the condition, timely responding to possible changes and maintaining the health of the periodontium.

• Professional teeth cleaning – professional plaque removal and teeth polishing is recommended twice a year, and in more severe cases, more often, as recommended by specialists.

• Avoiding self-initiated use of medications or dental products – all therapies and products should be used exclusively as recommended by a doctor to avoid irritation, allergies, or worsening of symptoms.
