Together with tooth decay, the diseases of the periodontium (tooth support apparatus) make up the overwhelming majority of diseases in dentistry. Bacteria is the cause of both diseases.
Bacteria often form a fortress (biofilm) on the tooth over a longer period of time. The metabolic products that are generated by the Bacteria cover the surrounding periodontium causing bad breath, bleeding gums, pain, and bone loss.
If the biofilm (dental plaque, tartar, plaque) is not removed, the gingiva (gums) become inflamed. Bleeding, swelling, and pain are a result.
Without proper care, plaque and tartar can expand. Now the bone also reacts with inflammation. There is a smooth transition from gingivitis to periodontitis. The bone recedes and so does the gums. The first spaces between the teeth become visible.
If the inflammation of the teeth holding apparatus (periodontitis) progresses, it causes loosening and possible tooth loss.
The key focus should be on reducing the amount of bacteria in the tooth area. This is achieved by removing plaque and tartar. This must be done regularly, every 6 months so that the situation does not degenerate with consequences such as Gum withdrawal.
What does periodontal therapy do?
As long as the teeth do not stand well in the bone, all rehabilitation plans or attempts to preserve teeth are ineffective.
Investments made in beautifying your smile, such as Veneers or Crowns, are wasted as the tooth can no longer be preserved.
Systemic diseases benefit indirectly from periodontitis therapy!
Systemic diseases related to periodontal disease.

Important! These measures only provide temporary symptom relief. It's not therapy!
If your teeth are important to you, schedule an exam now. Prevention is always better than neglecting!
Depending on the severity and cooperation of the patient, intensive follow-up care, cleaning and control are required.
It is not uncommon for teeth cleaning to be sufficient for the permanent stability of the teeth holding apparatus.
