Periodontics Zurich
The gums are inflamed and sometimes bleed, but an unpleasant mouth odour is also noticeable – all this can be the first signs of periodontitis. Periodontitis, which is also known as periodontal disease, is the inflammation of the periodontium and one of the most widespread diseases in general. If you detect initial symptoms, don’t ignore them. The quicker we can stop the inflammation the better.
In our Zahnboutique in the centre of Zurich, as part of our periodontics care we offer modern methods that promote the regeneration of teeth and gums with your long-term dental health in mind. That’s why you should book an appointment in our practice. You can contact us by telephone (043 499 90 00) or easily and conveniently by using our online appointment portal.
Regular preventive care protects against periodontitis
The inflammatory disease of the periodontium is initially painless in most cases and goes completely unnoticed by the patient until it is diagnosed by the dentist. The key to periodontitis treatment with us here in Zurich therefore consists of detecting the disease early on through regular check-ups and initiating counter-measures with corresponding therapy to maintain the natural dental structure for as long as possible. This falls within the range of services of periodontics, the “teaching of the periodontium”.
If left untreated, periodontitis can have a serious impact such as increasing deepening of the gum pockets and ultimately, the teeth can become loose. This can also have far-reaching consequences for one’s general health. It is often caused by destructive bacteria that penetrate the gum. However, it can also be caused by stress, a genetic predisposition or a weakened immune system. Smokers are at an increased risk of suffering from periodontitis.
Here is our comprehensive range of our periodontics services:
What very few of our patients know: periodontitis is a really common disease. Most adults will suffer from it at least once in their lifetime.
However, with early prevention, a timely diagnosis and systematic therapy tailored to the stage of the disease and the depth of the gum pockets, we focus on rehabilitating the tissue and helping your gums regain their strength. We will discuss which therapy method for treating periodontitis is the best for you during an extensive consultation. In any case, the most important steps include professional dental cleaning that eliminates tartar, discolouration and plaque, thereby removing the life source for the periodontitis bacteria. We would be happy to give you some useful tips on oral hygiene at home and nutrition for healthy teeth.
Our periodontics concept also includes an after-care package that is intensively and individually tailored to the patient’s needs. This ensures the treatment is successful in the long term. We would be happy to include you in our recall system so we can remind you regularly about upcoming check-up appointments.
