Periodontics
Periodontal disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis, are serious infections of the gums, which left untreated, can lead to loss of the affected tooth. The word "periodontal" means in terms of dental "around the tooth", the space around the tooth. Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone in what the tooth is fixed. Periodontal disease can affect one or more teeth. The starting point is the bacterial plaque on the tooth surface.
Accumulation of plaque due to a poor hygiene quickly leads to the first form of damage to the marginal periodontium (the supporting tissue of the tooth) - gingivitis. In this form, the gums turn red, swell and bleed easily. This form of periodontal disease is reversible with proper dental treatment and good oral hygiene.

Untreated gingivitis can lead to periodontitis.
Over time, bacterial plaque spreads over the entire tooth down to its root, toxins produced by bacteria in from plaque continues to irritate the gums, these toxins stimulate a chronic inflammatory response from the body and the tissues and bone around the tooth (which represents the tooth support into the jawbone) are destroyed. Gums separate from the tooth, creating periodontal pockets (spaces between the tooth and bone), which over time will become infected. As the disease progresses, the periodontal pockets deepen and the bone and the periodontal tissues are destroyed. This is the chronic form of periodontitis. Typically, this phase of the disease, shows no painful clinical signs but the tooth gains mobility and needs to be extracted.

If you experience such symptoms, periodontal treatment is required, which includes:
-dental cleaning, professional cleaning, air flow
-above and below gingival curettage
-laser treatment.
