Periodontal diseases are those diseases or pathological conditions that are associated with the gums and all surrounding tooth tissues.
More specifically?
1) Unpleasant breath odor from the oral cavity
2) Bleeding from the gums when brushing teeth or chewing food
3) Loose teeth
4) Long-lasting inflammatory processes
5) Redness and swelling of the gums
6) Bone loss, bone deficiency
6) Artificial crowns (ceramic teeth) made over various years, which cause gum problems
and more....
We refer to these problems collectively as periodontal problems.
Periodontal (gum, bone) problems are treated by a specialist whose specialty is periodontology.
Periodontal problems are resolved in the following order:
1) Consultation and treatment plan development
2) Conservative treatment (therapeutic, non-surgical) approximately 3 to 12 weeks
3) Surgical treatment (depending on results and patient's preference)
The most important aspect during periodontal treatment is the development of a treatment plan, which includes all possible options and possible changes that the patient must be informed about in advance.
