Symptoms of gum disease

Gum disease can manifest with many symptoms that need to be recognised in time to start treatment. Here are the most common signs to look out for:

Bleeding when brushing teeth

One of the first signs of gum disease is bleeding during normal hygiene procedures. If you notice blood when brushing or flossing, it could be a signal that inflammation is beginning.

Change in the colour of the gums

Healthy gums are usually pale pink in colour. Redness, dark red or purple hues may indicate inflammation.

Swelling and soreness of the gums

Gums that are swollen and painful to touch are often signs of gingivitis or periodontitis.

Bad breath

Chronic bad odour that doesn't go away after brushing your teeth can be caused by a buildup of bacteria under inflamed gums.

Tartar formation

A buildup of hard tartar at the tooth-gum interface can contribute to inflammation.

Spaces between teeth

The formation of new gaps between teeth can be a sign of bone loss caused by periodontal disease.

Food getting stuck between the teeth

Increased gaps between teeth can cause food to get stuck frequently, increasing the risk of inflammation.

The main causes of the disease

  • Poor oral hygiene

  • Genetic disposition

  • Poor nutrition

  • Chronic diseases

  • Smoking

  • Chronic stress

  • Hormonal changes

  • Aggressive brushing

Gum disease

Gingivitis
This is an inflammatory gum disease that is usually caused by a buildup of plaque, a soft bacterial layer that forms on the teeth around the gum line. If it is not removed regularly, the bacteria begins to multiply, causing inflammation and irritation of the gums. The main factors that contribute to gingivitis include poor oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes, certain medications, reduced immunity, stress, and genetic predisposition.

Periodontitis
Periodontitis is an advanced stage of gum disease that affects not only the gums but also the supporting structures of the teeth, including the alveolar bone and periodontal ligaments. This disease develops from untreated gingivitis when inflammation penetrates deeper under the gum pockets, destroying the supporting tissues and bone. The causes are similar to gingivitis, but the consequences are more serious due to the deep inflammation.

Treatment methods

Curettage (SRP - Scaling and Root Planing)

This is the standard process used to treat periodontal disease. The procedure involves thoroughly cleaning the roots of the teeth to remove tartar and smoothing the roots to reduce gum inflammation and aid in tissue healing.

Perio Flow

This is a modern technique for deep gum pocket cleaning, using a specialized device that gently cleans tooth roots and gum pockets with a stream of water mixed with fine powder. This method is effective in removing soft plaque and bacteria from deep pockets, helping to reduce inflammation and improve gum health.

Deep hygiene

Deep gum cleaning involves removing plaque and calculus not only from the visible surfaces of the teeth, but also from under the gum margins. This process usually consists of scaling (removing plaque and calculus) and root planning (smoothing the roots of the teeth to prevent plaque from building up again).

Closure of gingival recession

This method involves surgical correction in which gum tissue is moved or restored to cover the exposed tooth roots. This procedure not only improves the aesthetics of the smile, but also protects the roots of the teeth from external stimuli, reducing sensitivity and the risk of tooth decay.

Open / closed curettage

Open curettage involves surgically opening the gum pocket to better access and clean the roots of the teeth. Closed curettage is performed without incisions, using special instruments to clean under the gums. Both methods aim to reduce the depth of gum pockets and improve gum health.

The basic process of treatment


01

Deep multistage oral hygiene

This process involves thoroughly removing plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth and sub-gingival pockets. Special mechanical cleaning tools are used to help restore gum health.

02

Cleaning of roots and implants with Airflow Prophylaxis Master

A procedure that uses modern equipment to effectively and gently remove soft and hard deposits and staining from the surface of teeth and implants. Airflow technology provides fast and comfortable treatment, significantly reducing the risk of gum trauma.

03

Perio Flow - delicate powder delivery for root cleansing

Specialized technique for deep cleaning of periodontal pockets. Perio Flow uses a fine powder that is pressurized and effectively removes biofilm and tartar in hard-to-reach areas without damaging the tissue.

04

Surgical treatment of gum diseases

In cases of advanced forms of periodontitis, surgical intervention may be required. Surgery is aimed at removing deep-seated tartar, correcting gum defects and restoring lost bone tissue.

05

Supportive treatment and prevention

After the main course of treatment, patients are recommended regular professional maintenance and strict adherence to home care. Regular check-ups and cleanings help to maintain the results achieved and prevent recurrence of the disease.

    F.A.Q

    What should you do if your gum is inflamed and your palate hurts?

    Gum inflammation and pain in the palate often indicate infection or injury. It is recommended to consult a dentist for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

    Why can teeth become wobbly with gum inflammation?

    Wobbly teeth with gum inflammation are usually due to loss of supporting bone tissue as a result of periodontal disease, a serious gum disease that requires immediate professional attention.

    Can gum inflammation become chronic?

    Yes, gum inflammation can become chronic if gingivitis or periodontitis is not treated. Chronic inflammation can lead to further deterioration of gum and dental health.

    Can the gum become inflamed from hot food or drink?

    Hot food or drink can cause the gums to burn, temporarily leading to inflammation. This condition usually goes away on its own, but you should see a dentist if pain or discomfort persists.

    What should you do if your face is swollen when your gums are inflamed?

    Facial swelling when the gums are inflamed may indicate the spread of infection. It is important to contact a dentist or emergency services immediately, as it may require immediate medical intervention.

    How long does it take for the gum to heal after inflammation?

    The time of gum healing after inflammation depends on the extent of the lesion and the effectiveness of treatment. With timely therapy and compliance with the doctor's recommendations, improvement can occur within a few days to two weeks.

    What foods should you avoid when your gums are inflamed?

    When gums are inflamed, it is recommended to avoid hard, spicy, salty and acidic foods that can irritate or traumatize the gums. It is also worth limiting the consumption of sugary foods that promote bacterial growth.

    How often should I visit the dentist to prevent gum disease?

    It is recommended that you have a dental checkup and professional cleaning at least twice a year. If you have a predisposition to gum disease or already have problems, your dentist may recommend more often.
