Periodontology

Periodontology is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the treatment of periodontal diseases – the gums and the surrounding supporting bone. The main cause of periodontitis is the buildup on the tooth surface – dental plaque and tartar.

Periodontal Treatments

Ultrasonic cleaning of tartar
Scaling of the dental arches
Splinting of teeth

To maintain oral health, especially gum health, proper oral hygiene is essential. Teeth and gums should be brushed at least twice a day: in the morning after breakfast and in the evening before bedtime. If teeth are brushed properly, brushing should last at least two minutes. In our clinic, you can receive instructions on the proper way to brush your teeth.

Visit us, and during the examination, we will determine if there is a need for gum treatment, recommend an appropriate toothbrush, and advise on proper oral hygiene maintenance, as these recommendations are not universal for all conditions of the oral cavity.
