Periodontology

There is a large group of people who struggle with periodontal disease. The periodontium is nothing more than the tissues (gums) that allow the tooth to be properly seated and protected in the alveolus. Gingivitis, congenital or acquired defects, or periodontitis are just a few examples of periodontopathies that our dentists fight. Such lesions can be prevented, but when proper hygiene and prevention are not enough, specialized intervention is already necessary.

Healthy gums are a light or dark shade of coral pink. When bleeding, exposed tooth necks, or swelling and sensitivity to food appear, periodontics in Łódź may be the only salvation for the entire dentition. At our clinic, we perform professional and completely safe periodontal treatment, based on several methods. Among them are scaling, sandblasting, curettage (closed, open), or pharmacotherapy.

It is worth mentioning at this point that treatment at a periodontist usually lasts in several stages, and therapy does not end after one visit. The doctor can assess and diagnose conditions, and then choose the appropriate form of dental treatment.

Cooperation with an experienced periodontist in Łódź can significantly contribute to the health of your gums and teeth. A periodontal specialist in Łódź is able to accurately assess your periodontal health, diagnose the problem and suggest the most effective form of treatment. This makes it possible not only to treat already existing problems, but also to prevent future complications.

The human mouth is home to more than 700 types of different bacteria, which are generally harmless. Among them, periodontal bacteria can also be mentioned. They, too, can remain “dormant” for a long time, but under certain circumstances they cause the periodontal diseases already mentioned. Usually we ourselves are responsible for their proliferation and the negative consequences of neglect.

Periodontal bacteria, as well as plaque, should be removed regularly, such as by thorough tooth brushing. Otherwise, they produce harmful substances that contribute to the formation and development of inflammation of periodontal tissues in the mouth. Plaque becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, and hardens, turning into tartar, which cannot be removed with an ordinary toothbrush. As periodontal bacteria multiply, the infection will worsen and involve more oral tissues, mainly the structures surrounding the teeth, which can even lead to tooth loss.

Periodontal diseases are not indifferent to our body. They can significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, as well as affect the complications of diabetes. It is also pointed out that periodontal disease can contribute to the development of neurodegradative diseases, and in the case of pregnant women, even increase the risk of miscarriage.

It is not without reason that the oral cavity is said to be a reflection of everyone’s overall health. At the Center for Modern Dentistry, we can work together to take care of your teeth and gums so that they delight in their condition.

The role of prevention in periodontics

An important aspect of oral health is regular prophylaxis, which periodontology in Łódź places special emphasis on. Regular check-ups with a periodontist allow early detection of problems and prevention of more serious periodontal diseases. Education on proper oral hygiene, including proper tooth brushing, flossing and mouthwash, is an indispensable part of periodontal prevention.

One of the more common treatments is tooth splinting. It helps to stabilize and stiffen the teeth in the gums. On the other hand, frenum plication is just as often performed, which greatly affects the aesthetics of the smile.

Advanced technologies in the work of a periodontist

Modern periodontology in Łódź uses advanced technologies, such as laser therapy, clinical microscopy or advanced tissue regeneration techniques, which significantly increases the effectiveness of treatment. High-end equipment and innovative methods of treatment, make it possible to carry out even the most complicated procedures in a safe and comfortable manner for the patient.

The scope of periodontal treatment includes such procedures as:

• removal of tartar, deposits and plaque;
• treatment of bleeding gums, recession and hypersensitivity of tooth necks or excessive tooth mobility;
• combating bad breath (halitosis) or excessive dry mouth (xerostomia);
• deepening of the oral vestibule, aesthetic correction of the gums, connective tissue grafts.

Remember that regular visits to a specialist and following preventive recommendations can significantly reduce the risk of serious periodontal disease and improve your quality of life.
