Healthy gums are the foundation for healthy teeth. Periodontitis—inflammation of the periodontium—often develops gradually and goes unnoticed at first. Without treatment, it can not only lead to tooth loss, but also affect general health, for example in the case of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or rheumatism. Causes and signs The main cause is bacterial plaque, which triggers inflammation in the gums. Smoking, a weakened immune system, hormonal changes, or genetic predisposition can also increase the risk. Upon request, children and adolescents receive free dental cleaning every six months, along with explanations and demonstrations of what they can improve and what they are already doing well.
Regular preventive care is the best protection against periodontitis. Professional teeth cleaning and targeted preventive checkups enable us to detect and treat inflammation at an early stage.
If deeper gum pockets are already present, we clean them carefully and gently—under local anesthesia if desired. This supports healing and strengthens the foundation of your teeth.
Typical warning signs are:
- Bleeding gums
- Bad breath
- Swelling or receding gums
- Exposed tooth necks
- Loose teeth
