The first sign of periodontitis is inflamed gums that are red, swollen and often bleed, especially when brushing. It is red and red, red and red when it is sore and red when it is red and red, and it is also red and red when it is sore.

Gingivitis is often caused by inadequate tooth cleaning, when plaque is left where the teeth meet the gums. This plaque is a breeding ground for bacteria that cause inflammation. A secondary cause is tartar, which can only be removed by a professional in a dental practice.

Untreated disease can lead to gum recession, bone loss, tooth mobility and tooth loss—often silently. The earlier you start periodontitis treatment, the more tooth structure and bone you can keep. Our focus is stability: therapy plus maintenance through professional teeth cleaning.

Cervical sensitivity can be caused by a number of factors, and common causes include improper tooth cleaning technique. Using strong-bristled toothbrushes and abrasive toothpastes, grinding your teeth at night and eating acidic foods and drinks can all contribute to the development of sensitivity.

Prevention is consistency: daily plaque control + regular professional teeth cleaning and gum checks. We also help you correct your technique, how to clean hard-to-reach areas, and manage risk factors (smoking, bruxism, diabetes). Our goal is to avoid advanced periodontitis treatment later.

• Soft-bristled toothbrushes: using fine-bristled toothbrushes reduces the risk of cervical abrasion and sensitivity.
• Flossing and mouthwash: Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential. It is advisable to seek advice from a dentist or dental hygienist on the most appropriate tools to use, whether it is an electric toothbrush, dental floss or mouthwash.
• Treating gum recession: If sensitivity is caused by gum disease, gum restoration can relieve pain by making the root of the tooth more protected.
• Reducing acidic foods and drinks: limiting acidic foods and drinks and brushing at the right time (after at least an hour) can reduce tooth sensitivity from acid exposure.

So cervical sensitivity can be significantly reduced with professional treatment, but for best results it is worth preventing cervical wear and receding gums.

Tartar doesn’t just build up on the surface of the teeth – if the gums separate from the tooth, it can also form in areas under the gums where bacteria can adhere, causing ongoing inflammation in the gums and later the periodontium.

Yes—when necessary, periodontal specialists can perform dental surgery procedures such as flap surgery (open curettage), gum grafting, crown lengthening, detal implantation, removal of wisdom tooth and regenerative therapies. We only recommend surgical steps when non-surgical periodontitis treatment won’t deliver a stable result.

• Regular brushing: Thoroughly cleaning the areas around the gums in a circular motion helps to remove food debris and plaque.
• Dental cleaning: Professional tartar removal is necessary and should be carried out annually or every three months depending on individual needs.

As the susceptibility to tartar and gingivitis is also influenced by genetic and hormonal factors, it is worth consulting your dentist about appropriate oral care techniques and timing.

Causes and effective treatment of gingivitis: How to stop receding gums.

Gum atrophy or gum recession is caused by a variety of factors such as periodontal disease, improper oral care and genetic predisposition. Unfortunately, it cannot be remedied with vitamins or home remedies, and the removal of tartar also requires expertise.

 

Periodontics is a dental specialty specialising in the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease. Periodontists treat gingivitis and periodontitis, restoring the health of the gums and periodontium.

Periodontitis treatment targets infected gum pockets and the bacteria under your gums. We combine deep cleaning, pocket therapy (closed curettage when needed), and long-term maintenance with professional teeth cleaning. Our goal is to stop bone loss, stabilise your teeth, and keep your gums healthy.

Warning signs include bleeding gums, swelling, bad breath, gum recession, tooth sensitivity, and teeth that feel “looser” or shifted. If you notice these, we recommend an assessment and professional teeth cleaning, because early periodontitis treatment is faster and more predictable.

The main trigger is bacterial plaque, often made worse by tartar, smoking, genetics, stress, certain medications, old not fitting dentures and conditions like diabetes. We identify the key drivers in your case, then build a plan around professional teeth cleaning and tailored periodontitis treatment.

We start with a precise gum assessment and, when needed, a panoramic X-ray or dental CBCT to see what’s happening below the gumline. Then we perform professional teeth cleaning with ultrasonic scaling above and under the gums. Our goal is to calm inflammation fast and prevent progression.

Without periodontitis treatment, inflammation can progress from bleeding gums to deep pockets, bone loss and tooth mobility—eventually tooth loss. Gum infection may also affect overall health. Our goal is early diagnosis, targeted therapy, and maintenance through professional teeth cleaning to protect your smile long-term.
