Are you experiencing red, swollen, and bleeding gums? Do you have bad breath, signs of loose teeth, or changes in your dental alignment? The mentioned symptoms could indicate gum inflammation, scientifically referred to as periodontitis. After undergoing a consultation and being diagnosed with periodontitis, an individually tailored treatment plan will be established. This may involve a few or many visits, depending on the severity of the disease. Periodontitis, which affects the supporting structures around the teeth, is more common as we age. It can be partially hereditary and influenced by our general health, lifestyle, and oral hygiene practices.

To stop or slow the disease, regular dental cleanings and good oral hygiene routines are essential. If left untreated, such inflammation can develop, leading to further loss of bone support around the teeth. The treatment aims to eliminate the infection and stabilize conditions to preserve bone support around the teeth. The treatment generally involves thorough deep cleaning around all teeth, often performed under anesthesia.

In some cases, you may be referred for evaluation or additional treatment by a periodontal specialist. We will assist you with this. Severe periodontitis can ultimately lead to tooth loss, making it crucial not to remain untreated for too long.

After the treatment phase, regular follow-up visits with a dentist or dental hygienist will be required to avoid relapse. For active periodontitis, the treatment is partially covered by Helfo, and you only pay a copayment of 695,- per 30 minutes with us.
