Periodontology: periodontitis treatment in Berlin

Periodontitis is a bacterial inflammation of the tooth bed. It often begins with inflammation of the gums (gingivitis). If this condition persists over a long period of time, the inflammation can spread to the surrounding
connective tissue and lead to the loss of periodontal support tissue. This supporting tissue includes

Gums
Root element
Root skin
Jaw bone

To prevent the loss of the periodontium, it is important to consult a specialist in periodontology in Berlin at an early stage. If periodontal disease is not treated professionally, it can lead to tooth loss. Periodontitis can also promote diabetes, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

Development and symptoms of periodontitis

The most common cause of periodontitis is a lack of or poor oral hygiene. If teeth are brushed too little or with the wrong technique, plaque quickly forms on the tooth, especially at the junction of the tooth and gum. This so-called “plaque” consists of a mixture of saliva, bacteria and food residue. Plaque is soft in the early stages and can be removed quickly. Over time, however, it hardens and tartar forms. This allows the bacteria to adhere permanently to the teeth. In order to prevent the bacteria from penetrating the tissue, the body reacts with gum inflammation and the immune system begins to fight the bacteria.

There are no typical periodontitis symptoms. However, we use the following signs to detect and treat periodontitis in our practice in Berlin:

Bleeding gums
Presence of gingival pockets
Reddened and swollen gums
foul mouth odor
unpleasant taste, especially when pus drains from the inflamed areas
Gum recession (loss of the periodontium)
Loose teeth, misaligned teeth
Exposed and sensitive tooth necks

Treatment of periodontitis in Berlin

To stop the gum disease and treat the inflammation, the bacteria under the tissue must first be eliminated. This is usually done under local anesthesia. The gum pockets are also cleaned and the tooth surfaces are cleaned: Plaque and tartar are removed. In more serious cases, treatment with medication or surgery is necessary.

In addition to periodontitis treatment, our practice in Berlin Friedrichshain offers a comprehensive range of treatments. You can also contact us as a specialist for endodontology in Berlin as well.
