Bleeding gums is not normal. It may be a sign of gum inflammation—gingivitis—which can be successfully managed with early treatment.
Periodontitis affects the tissues and bone that hold the teeth in place. Without treatment, teeth can lose their anchorage, but early treatment can help preserve them.
Bad breath from the mouth despite regular hygiene can be a sign of gum inflammation. Professional cleaning and periodontal treatment help remove the cause.
Periodontology deals with the treatment of inflammatory gum diseases and the supporting tissues of teeth. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that, without treatment, gradually leads to bone loss around the teeth and is among the main causes of tooth loss in adults.
In the treatment of periodontitis, time plays an important role. The sooner treatment begins, the more likely it is to preserve the bone support of the teeth. Treatment includes professional deep cleaning under local anesthesia and long-term maintenance care.

Regular cleaning every 3-6 months helps maintain results and prevents relapse
Gingivitis is gum inflammation that is reversible with early treatment and does not lead to bone loss. Periodontitis is a more serious inflammatory disease in which tissue damage and bone loss already occur—the bone that provides support for the teeth. Untreated gingivitis can gradually progress to periodontitis.
We perform deep cleaning under the gumline under local anesthesia, which minimizes pain during the procedure. After the anesthesia wears off, mild gum sensitivity may occur, which usually subsides over the course of a few days. Most patients tolerate the procedure well.
Periodontitis is not curable in the strict sense, because lost bone support is usually not restored. With proper treatment, however, we can slow down or stop the progression of the disease and help preserve your natural teeth. The key is long-term maintenance care, which helps prevent the inflammation from returning.
The active phase of treatment usually involves 2-4 visits over 1-2 months. After 6-8 weeks, follow-up examinations are done to assess the results. Ongoing maintenance care is long-term, usually at intervals of 3 up to 6 months, and is an important part of periodontitis treatment.
Yes, it has been shown to be linked to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and pregnancy complications. It has also been proven to cause brain-degenerative diseases. Chronic inflammation in the gums affects the entire body. Treating periodontitis can therefore directly improve your overall health.

“I was convinced I’d lose two teeth. After periodontal treatment, they were still in place and my gums healed better than I expected. Ignoring this problem would have cost me my teeth.”
