What does a periodontist treat

Gingivitis

Inflammation affects only the gum, without affecting the bone. The gum turns red, bleeds, and reacts to touch. Good news: at this stage the tissues are completely restored. Bad: if not treated, inflammation occurs deeper.

Periodontitis

Inflammation descends under the gum and begins to destroy the bone around the tooth. Periodontal pockets appear - spaces between the tooth and the gum where bacteria live. The teeth gradually lose support and begin to loosen. Treatment depends on the depth of the pockets: from professional cleaning to. surgery.

Closed curettage

When the pockets have already formed, cleaning alone is not enough. The doctor cleans the walls of the pocket from the inside with instruments, removes the changed tissue and bacterial plaque from the root. anesthesia.

Flap surgery

If the pockets are deep and it is not possible to reach the bottom using a closed method, the doctor makes a small incision, lifts the gum and, if necessary, works with the bone directly, this allows you to save the teeth in situations where they would have been without surgery. doomed.
