Gums – Periodontology and Treatment of Periodontal Diseases

Healthy gums are the foundation of a beautiful smile and long-lasting teeth. Periodontology is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating diseases of the gums and the tissues surrounding the teeth. Periodontal problems such as bleeding gums, redness, or bad breath are not just aesthetic concerns – they can lead to tooth mobility and even tooth loss. During the first periodontal visit, the dentist conducts a thorough interview and an oral examination. If necessary, additional tests may be ordered – such as X-rays, blood morphology with a smear, or glucose level testing. Based on these results, an individual treatment plan is developed, tailored to the patient’s needs.

When should you see a periodontist?

Tooth sensitivity to hot and cold

Gaps appearing between teeth

Receding gums and lengthened tooth crowns

Shifting or loosening of teeth

Bleeding and swollen gums

Persistent bad breath

At Denta-Med Clinic, we use modern methods of gum treatment that help stop the progression of periodontal disease and improve our patients’ quality of life. We offer, among others:

Supragingival scaling – removal of hard tartar deposits above the gumline
Subgingival scaling
Closed curettage – cleaning of periodontal pockets under local anesthesia
Open curettage – used in cases of deeper gum inflammation, allowing full access to affected tissue

Regular periodontal treatment is an investment in healthy gums, strong teeth, and fresh breath.
We invite you to schedule a consultation at Denta-Med – our periodontal specialist will choose the right therapy and take care of your smile.
