Periodontology
Periodontology is a specialty that deals with the health of the gums and tissues that support the teeth. Among the most common problems are inflammation and bleeding of the gums, as well as parodontitis.
Early diagnosis and proper treatment are important for preserving the tissues around the teeth and preventing more serious damage.
During the examination, the condition of the gums and supporting tissues is assessed, after which the appropriate treatment and prevention plan is determined according to the patient's individual needs.
Програма "ПАРОДОНТАЛНА ПРОФИЛАКТИКА"
Целта на програмата е да се организира по оптимален начин лечението на такова социално значимо заболяване като „пародонтозата“ (по-точното наименование е пародонтит), от което страдат 89% от населението на Земята. Най-важното в програмата е осигуряването на регулярно професионално почистване на зъбите, контролиране на постигнатия резултат през определен период от време, включително провеждането на лабораторни изследвания (рентгенова диагностика, микробиология и др.).
Frequently Asked Questions
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of the supporting structures of the teeth (gums and jawbone). Left untreated, it leads to tooth mobility and loss.
Bleeding when brushing your teeth, red and swollen gums, bad breath, receding gums, and sensitivity when chewing.
Periodontitis cannot be completely cured, but it can be successfully managed and placed into long-term remission through professional cleanings and excellent oral hygiene at home.
Treatment is complex and aims to control the disease in order to stop bone loss and tooth mobility. It includes the following main stages:
- Recording the initial condition of the teeth and gums by taking a complete dental and periodontal status;
- Deep cleaning (curettage): removing subgingival tartar and bacterial plaque from periodontal pockets;
- Polishing: smoothing tooth surfaces to make it harder for plaque to re-attach;
- Antibacterial therapy: administration of specialized medications to control inflammation if necessary;
- Individual maintenance plan: setting up a schedule for follow-up check-ups and strict instructions for home hygiene.
