Periodontology – Your Gum Health Matters
Periodontology is the branch of dentistry focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum diseases and the supporting structures of the teeth. At Sanodent Clinique, we approach periodontal health with the utmost care, because healthy gums are the foundation of a stable, long-lasting smile.
Periodontal conditions can progress over time without obvious symptoms, but if left untreated, they may lead to tooth mobility and even tooth loss. That is why early diagnosis and proper treatment are essential.
What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease (gum disease) is a chronic inflammation of the gums and the bone that supports the teeth. It mainly develops due to the accumulation of bacterial plaque and tartar.
The main stages are:
- Gingivitis – a superficial, reversible inflammation of the gums
- Periodontitis – a more advanced condition involving bone loss and loss of tooth support
Common Signs of Periodontal Disease
- Bleeding gums during brushing
- Inflamed or receding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Tooth sensitivity
- Tooth mobility
Modern and Accurate Diagnosis
At our clinic, periodontal evaluation is performed using modern technologies combined with a detailed clinical examination.
The periodontist assesses:
- Periodontal pocket depth
- Degree of gum recession
- Tooth mobility
- Bone level through radiological investigations
Thanks to digital imaging, we can monitor the progression of the disease over time and tailor treatment individually.
Periodontal Treatment
Treatment is adapted according to the stage of the disease and may include minimally invasive yet highly effective procedures.
Professional Cleaning and Scaling
The first step involves removing bacterial plaque and tartar both above and below the gum line.
Subgingival Curettage (Deep Cleaning)
This procedure cleans periodontal pockets, removing bacteria and inflamed tissue to stop disease progression.
Laser Treatment (when indicated)
Laser technology helps disinfect affected areas effectively and promotes faster healing.
Periodontal Surgery
In advanced cases, surgical procedures may be required to regenerate tissues and stabilize teeth.
