Problems with gums?
In a healthy oral cavity, the tooth is surrounded by light pink, firm gum tissue, and the tooth does not exhibit noticeable movement. This stability is ensured by the periodontal ligament placed around the neck of each tooth. During tooth brushing, there is no bleeding or pain.
In the presence of periodontal disease, this normality is disrupted. Irritation and inflammation of the gums around the tooth in a localized or widespread area may occur. The gums appear swollen, accompanied by mild pain. There may also be a change in the color of the gums, which change from pink to red or even blue. Patients notice bleeding during brushing, feel sore gums, and in some cases, experience itching. The gums start to recede, creating spaces (gingival pockets), which become areas for food and microbial accumulation. These accumulations encourage the progression of the disease if not treated properly.
Do you have loose teeth?
Every tooth has slight natural movement. However, when this movement is accentuated, it should be addressed as soon as possible. Increased tooth mobility is a serious problem that can worsen and lead to the complete loss of a tooth, which can detach from the bone/alveolus.

Treatment:
As an initial solution for periodontal diseases in their early stages, we recommend professional cleaning of dental plaque, stains, and tartar using specialized ultrasonic equipment. This professional cleaning removes all impurities and microbial agents, even in the most difficult-to-reach areas, while smoothing and treating the teeth and roots. In this way, we prevent the progression of the disease or halt its development if it is in the early stages.
If the doctor determines that the periodontal disease has been caused or influenced by irregular fillings, crowns, or damaged prosthetic work, it is necessary to retreat the fillings and replace the damaged prosthetic work to ensure your oral health.
The treatment continues with professional and personalized advice based on the patient’s needs and condition, including the following:
- Regular use of antiseptics or chlorhexidine-based medical solutions, which successfully alleviate the symptoms of this disease.
- Fluoridation – for patients who are predisposed to developing carious processes. This is done through the application of fluoride using spray or gel products.
- Herbotherapy – Sterilization of periodontal pockets (an innovative procedure).
In cases of infection, antibiotics and antifungals are used. Therapeutic and medicative methods are not always sufficient. In more advanced stages of the disease, surgical intervention becomes necessary. This includes open and closed curettage procedures.
Severe tooth mobility is treated with orthopedic methods such as prosthetics, splints, or dental bonding.
