Periodontitis refers to a number of inflammatory diseases affecting the periodontum - the tissues that surround and support the teeth. The main cause of the problem is improper hygiene of the oral cavity as well as old overhanging fillings and crowns. The symptoms include occasional redness or bleeding of the gums while brushing the teeth. If untreated, prolonged periodontitis leads to gum receding, progressive loss of the alveolar bone and the loosening and subsequent loss of the teeth. The use of special preparations and other means of regenerating the bone and surrounding gum tissue combined with advanced surgical and preventive procedures allows to save even considerably loosened teeth. Subsequently, the unstable teeth are firmly seated back in the bone. Progress in medicine makes it possible for us to enjoy having our own teeth until the old age. The only condition that needs to be fulfilled is starting a proper treatment in time to prevent the negative processes from further development. Before you make the decision to remove a tooth,
make sure it cannot be saved. |
