Gum care: solutions for your oral health!
Periodontitis, also known as gum disease, is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the tissues that support the teeth (gums, bone and periodontal ligament). It is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults and can also impact overall health if left untreated.
Causes of periodontitis
(chronic marginal periodontitis)
- Bacterial plaque – the main cause, formed on teeth and gums due to poor oral hygiene.
- Untreated gingivitis – gum inflammation that can progress into periodontitis.
- Genetic factors – some people are more predisposed to this condition.
- Smoking – delays healing and affects gum health.
- Medical conditions – such as diabetes or cardiovascular diseases increase the risk.
- Stress – weakens the immune system, favoring bacterial infections.
- Unbalanced diet – lack of essential vitamins and minerals (like vitamin C) can affect gum health. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are essential to maintain healthy gums and prevent complications.

What does periodontitis look like?
Symptoms of periodontitis:
- Bleeding gums (during brushing or spontaneously)
- Gum recession, exposing the tooth roots.
- Persistent bad breath (halitosis)
- Tooth mobility or shifting.
- Formation of periodontal pockets between teeth and gums.
- Pain or discomfort while chewing.
Stages of periodontal disease
Gingivitis: Gum inflammation without bone loss. At this early stage, the condition can be effectively treated if diagnosed in time.
Moderate periodontitis: Involves deeper infection and partial bone loss, requiring more complex treatment.
Advanced periodontitis: Significant bone loss and tooth mobility, with a high risk of tooth loss if untreated.
Gingivitis: Gum inflammation without bone loss. At this early stage, the condition can be effectively treated if diagnosed in time.
Moderate periodontitis: Involves deeper infection and partial bone loss, requiring more complex treatment.
Advanced periodontitis: Significant bone loss and tooth mobility, with a high risk of tooth loss if untreated.
Early diagnosis is essential to stop the progression and preserve both teeth and overall oral health. Unfortunately, many patients at Dent Park dental clinic begin periodontal treatment in the moderate to advanced stages. This often means that dental implants must also be considered as part of a long-term treatment plan.

Periodontitis treatment
Daily oral hygiene plays a key role in preventing periodontal disease.
Proper oral hygiene: brushing at least twice a day and using dental floss.
Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning): removal of plaque and tartar below the gum line, performed professionally. Bacteria can accumulate under the gums, often without being noticed by the patient.
Surgical treatments: gum or bone grafts, in advanced cases.
Medication: local or systemic antibiotics to control infection.
Regular dental check-ups: every 3–6 months.
