Gingivitis — one of the most common dental problems, which can occur due to various factors: poor oral hygiene, infections, diseases of the body or even stress. If you do not pay attention to the problem in time, it can lead to serious complications, such as periodontitis or tooth loss. It is important to diagnose gum disease in a timely manner and treat it correctly.
To avoid gingivitis, you should regularly follow the basic rules of oral hygiene:
Gingivitis is a serious condition that should not be ignored. Early detection and proper treatment can help keep your gums and teeth healthy for many years to come.
Periodontitis is an inflammation of not only the gums but also the tissues that support the teeth, which can lead to tooth mobility and loss. It is a more serious disease that occurs on the basis of gingivitis, an inflammation of the gums that is usually accompanied by redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums, but does not affect deeper tissues.
Gingivitis can be easily treated, while periodontitis requires more complex treatment and can lead to significant damage to the teeth and gums if left untreated.
Periodontitis can be treated, but complete tissue restoration is not always possible, especially in the later stages. Treatment helps to control the disease, stop progression and preserve teeth, but the lost tissue cannot be fully restored.
To treat periodontitis, you usually need to visit a doctor every 3-6 months for preventive examinations and teeth cleaning. In case of severe disease, visits may be more frequent - once every 1-2 months, depending on the doctor's recommendations.
The main causes of periodontitis are insufficient oral hygiene, which leads to the accumulation of plaque and calculus, infections, smoking, genetic predisposition, hormonal changes (for example, during pregnancy or menopause), diabetes and other diseases, as well as poor nutrition and stress.
Advanced periodontitis can lead to serious consequences, such as tooth loss, due to the destruction of the tissues that support the teeth. It can also cause chronic pain, poor overall health due to the spread of infection, and problems with bite and chewing function. In addition, there is a risk of developing serious heart and vascular disease due to bacterial infections that can enter the bloodstream.
Yes, it is possible to get rid of bad breath caused by periodontitis if the disease is treated. After the inflammation is eliminated and the gums are deeply cleaned, the odor disappears, as it often occurs due to the presence of bacteria in periodontal pockets. It is important to see a doctor for comprehensive treatment and to maintain good oral hygiene.
For example, smoking significantly increases the risk of developing periodontitis. It reduces the body's ability to fight infections, slows down the healing process, and contributes to the accumulation of harmful bacteria in the mouth, which leads to inflammation of the gums and damage to the tissues that support the teeth.
During pregnancy, periodontitis treatment can be adapted to ensure safety for the mother and fetus. Some procedures may be postponed to a later date or performed with extreme caution, as well as taking into account the need to avoid certain medications. In the case of other special circumstances, such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease, periodontitis treatment may require adjustments to the therapeutic approach to prevent complications.

Periodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of the gums and tissues that support the teeth. The health of the periodontium (gums, bone tissue, ligamentous apparatus) is key to maintaining teeth for many years.
Periodontal treatment is necessary for such problems as:
- Bleeding gums;
- Bad breath;
- Swollen or reddened gums;
- Tooth mobility;
- Feeling of pain or discomfort in the gums.
Our approach to the treatment of periodontal diseases is based on a comprehensive therapy that helps to stop the progression of the disease, restore tissue health and ensure long-term results.
The main stages of periodontal treatment
1. Diagnosis
Treatment begins with a thorough examination, assessment of the gums and periodontal tissues. We use modern diagnostic methods, including measuring the depth of periodontal pockets and assessing tooth mobility.
2. Drawing up a periodontal map
Based on the collected data, a detailed periodontal map is drawn up, which allows us to determine the degree of damage and develop an individual treatment plan.
3. Professional oral hygiene
Removal of tartar and soft plaque, which are the main causes of gum disease. The procedure is performed using an ultrasonic scaler and teeth polishing.
4. Curettage of periodontal pockets
- Closed curettage (without surgery): cleaning of periodontal pockets and removal of infected tissues in cases of shallow lesions.
- Open curettage (surgical method): used for deep lesions. The procedure involves surgical access to the affected areas, thorough cleaning of the tissues and stimulation of their regeneration.
5. Supportive therapy
After completion of the main treatment, it is very important to have regular examinations and professional teeth cleaning. This will help prevent the disease from recurring and keep your gums healthy.
Why is it important to start treatment on time?
Periodontal diseases can progress asymptomatically in the early stages. However, untreated, they lead to tooth loss, bone atrophy, and other complications. A timely visit to a periodontist helps to avoid these problems and ensure the comfort and health of the oral cavity.
