Healthy gums are important for our oral hygiene

Gums and periodontal tissues hold the teeth into the tooth socket and contribute to the protection of the mouth against external invaders.

Gums and periodontal tissues hold the teeth into the tooth socket and contribute to the protection against external invaders. Surrounding the teeth, gums and periodontal tissues form the aesthetic zone of the smile, just like a frame of a picture. They are also connected through bloodstream with the rest of the body and therefore diseases such as diabetes, hormonal disorders, cardiovascular, thyroid and autoimmune diseases can be related to gum diseases. Vice versa, the right gum hygiene affects positively patients with one of the above diseases.

Periodontal Therapy

Periodontal therapy is required when the germs have penetrated deeper into the alveolar bone. Patients realize that something is wrong only in its advanced stages due to the lack of pain. Tooth mobility, tooth crown lengthening, root reveal, gum recession and bad breath are some of periodontitis’ symptoms. However, only the dentist can diagnose periodontitis in its early stages and treat it in time. Periodontal therapy, which is completed in 4 appointments, is performed with local anesthesia and can be combined with surgical operation for regeneration of periodontal tissues. The patient should plan their re-examinations every 3 to 4 months in order for the results to be preserved. Also, a healthy oral hygiene is crucial.
