Periodontitis Treatment

is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gums that gradually destroys the bone supporting the teeth. It usually develops as a progression of gingivitis and, if left untreated, can eventually lead to tooth mobility or even tooth loss.

Symptoms of Periodontitis

  • Gum bleeding during brushing or chewing
  • Swollen, red, or painful gums
  • Gum recession (exposed roots)
  • Persistent bad breath or unpleasant taste
  • Tooth mobility in advanced stages

Goals of Treatment

The main goal of periodontal therapy is to eliminate harmful bacteria, reduce inflammation, and protect the supporting structures of the teeth. This helps stop further bone loss and maintain oral health.

The Importance of Maintenance

Periodontitis is a chronic condition. Even after successful treatment, regular maintenance visits every 3–6 months are essential. These visits include professional cleanings and monitoring to prevent recurrence and preserve long-term results.
