Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of the gums and the periodontium (fibers, supporting tissue, bones), which is caused by bacterial infected plaque. Without proper and timely treatment, this disease will eventually lead to permanent damage

Loss of teeth.
Gingivitis caused by bacteria can be caused by a genetic predisposition, diabetes, heavy smoking or poor oral hygiene. Periodontitis can destroy gums, tooth supporting fibers and bones in the long term. As a result, the teeth gradually fall out.

When bacteria actively attack the gums using enzymes and toxins, inflammation occurs that is clearly visible to patients. They extend from the gums to the jawbone, called periodontitis.

The actual periodontitis treatment requires local anesthesia and cleans deep root surfaces and gum pockets of tartar and bacteria. After the treatment, the gum pockets are checked in the first few weeks to check the success of the treatment. After 2-3 months, the depth of the gum pockets is checked again to evaluate long-term success. Lifelong prophylaxis remains necessary to prevent re-inflammation. Surgical treatments are necessary for stubborn, deep inflammation. Periodontitis poses risks such as stroke, heart attack and premature birth in pregnant women.
