Periodontics
Periodontitis is an inflammation of the Periodontium which is composed by all the soft and hard tissues surrounding the tooth: gum, periodontal ligament, dental cement and bone.
Periodontitis affects circa 20-50% of the global population, with a 7.8% of people being affected by aggressive periodontitis: smoke, stress, age and genetic predisposition are the most common risk factors.
Strong scientific evidence shows that non-treated periodontitis leads to higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, complications during pregnancy and of course tooth loss.
Some of the most common initial symptoms are gum bleeding and halitosis: if you notice any of these it’s a good idea to book a dental check-up.
Modern dentistry gives special attention to this problem and our dental practice offers effective periodontal treatments with regular check-ups over time.
If you have chronic periodontitis it’s usually suggested to get professional hygiene cleaning twice or more per year in order to keep plaque, tartare and gum bleeding under control.
