with healthy teeth and gums will improve your life.
Your oral hygiene is essential to prevent the appearance of bacteria that cause tooth diseases such as cavities and gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Some bacteria can enter the bloodstream through the mouth and affect your general health.
Oral health is essential for your general health. Your confidence and self-esteem start with your smile. Let’s smile happily and confidently.
The tissues that support the tooth are very important for keeping it in the oral cavity. The tooth is supported by the gums, the alveolar bone and the periodontal ligament.
Inflammation of these tissues can lead to gingivitis and periodontitis.
Gingivitis is the initial stage, it only affects the gums, the gums bleed, are red and swollen with no loss of supporting tissues.
Gingivitis is reversible.
Treatment is mechanical with scaling and hygiene instruction and motivation for the patient.
the destruction of all the tooth’s supporting tissues leads to tooth mobility and, without treatment, can lead to tooth loss.
Periodontal disease is the biggest cause of tooth loss in adult patients.
If gingivitis is left untreated, the inflammation reaches the bone, and all the surrounding tissues are destroyed.
The loss of supporting tissues can be irreversible.
The treatment plan is individualised for each clinical case. Treatment begins with diagnosis using a periodontal chart and radiological status, and hygiene instruction and motivation. Non-invasive mechanical treatment is always essential, and in some cases resective or regenerative surgery may be necessary.
