Periodontology
Periodontal care encompasses both preventive and therapeutic procedures designed to manage, treat, and prevent gum disease. Healthy periodontal (gum and bone) tissues are vital not only for keeping your teeth stable but for maintaining systemic oral health.
First Aid for Mucosal Lesions
Treating oral mucosa damage caused by trauma, irritation, or infection. This involves evaluating the lesion, stopping inflammation, and prescribing soothing, restorative treatments.
Scaling
A professional cleaning procedure utilizing ultrasonic tools to thoroughly remove hardened calculus (tartar) and plaque from above and slightly below the gumline, actively preventing gingivitis and periodontal disease.
Deep Periodontal Cleaning (Curettage)
Performed when inflammation has advanced below the gumline and periodontal pockets have formed. The roots of the teeth and surrounding tissues are meticulously cleaned of hidden plaque and bacteria, halting bone loss and promoting tissue reattachment.
Maintenance Therapy
Following active periodontal treatment, ongoing monitoring is essential. This includes scheduled professional cleanings and evaluations to prevent relapse and maintain healthy gums long-term.
AirFlow Cleaning
A modern, non-invasive professional cleaning method utilizing a high-pressure stream of air, water, and specialized microparticles. It effortlessly erases plaque and surface stains, even in hard-to-reach interdental areas. AirFlow is enamel-safe, entirely painless, and suitable for adults and children alike.

When is a visit to a periodontist necessary?
A visit to a periodontist is recommended both for existing gum problems and for their prevention. Timely consultation is particularly important in cases of bleeding, swelling or tooth mobility.
Can gum disease be prevented?
