The periodontium – the foundation of a healthy smile and a healthy body. Periodontal disease develops silently for years, without pain, often unnoticed – until teeth begin to loosen and gums recede. That is why a periodontist in your dental clinic is not a luxury. It is a necessity.
The periodontist – the guardian of your teeth
A periodontist is a specialist whose task is to diagnose, treat and monitor diseases of the tissues surrounding the teeth – the gums, the alveolar bone and the periodontal ligaments. This is the doctor who saves teeth from loosening and loss – in situations where it seems nothing more can be done.
In our clinic, periodontal treatment is carried out in close cooperation with our dental hygienist – a specialist in professional cleaning of the subgingival space. It is a duo that genuinely changes the state of the periodontium, even in advanced cases.
Diseased periodontium – a problem far beyond the mouth
The 2024 consensus of the EFP and WONCA Europe clearly states that periodontitis is independently associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, obstructive sleep apnoea and COVID-19 complications – and that treating periodontitis is associated with improvements in systemic health markers.
The link with diabetes – Intensive periodontal treatment in adults with type 2 diabetes achieved a lasting reduction in HbA1c of 0.6% after 12 months – a clinically significant result, comparable to the effect of some anti-diabetic medicines. Serón C. et al., Frontiers in Public Health, 2023
Subgingival cleaning – where the toothbrush cannot reach
Tartar deposited below the gum line – in periodontal pockets – is inaccessible to home hygiene. Only professional instruments and experienced hands can remove it effectively.
In our clinic, subgingival cleaning is performed by our dental hygienist – a specialist with experience and a passion for detail. This is not ordinary tartar removal – it is targeted periodontal therapy that halts the progress of the disease and gives the periodontium a chance to regenerate.
Gum recession – act before it is too late
A receding gum is not just an aesthetic problem. It is a process that always progresses – and left untreated it inevitably leads to exposed tooth necks, sensitivity, root decay and, eventually, tooth loss.
Gum recession can and should be treated – and modern periodontal surgery techniques allow it to be covered effectively. The earlier the patient sees a periodontist, the smaller the problem and the better the final result.
If you can see your teeth “getting longer” – that is a signal it is time for a consultation. Not next month. Now.
PERIODONTIST AND ORTHODONTIST
Corticotomy – faster orthodontic treatment thanks to specialist teamwork.
The role of the periodontist in our clinic goes far beyond treating gum disease. As part of our comprehensive approach to orthodontic treatment, our periodontist performs corticotomy – a surgical procedure involving controlled incision of the alveolar bone around the teeth being moved.
Corticotomy activates the natural bone remodelling process – the regional acceleratory phenomenon (RAP) – which significantly speeds up the biological response of bone tissue to orthodontic forces.
The effects of corticotomy
–
Orthodontic treatment proceeds faster
–
Full control over tooth movement
–
No compromise to periodontal health
–
Particularly valuable for large tooth movements
–
Ideal for adult patients, in whom bone remodelling is slower
