Inflammation of the gums can affect the whole organism and should be taken seriously.
Any symptoms should be treated professionally to avoid bone reduction or loss of teeth later on.
To arrange individual treatment for your specific needs, we examine the condition of your gums during the consultation
and draw up a plan of action, together with you.
Depending on the extent to which your gums are affected, we might also offer you a special course of gum regeneration treatment,
which is covered to a large degree by the statutory health insurance.
*This is paid by your German health insurance company.
Private patients will be invoiced directly and are directly responsible for paying this invoice.
Healthy gums do not bleed
Inflammation of the gums, bleeding or receding gums are all a sign of gum disease, also known as periodontitis. Around half the adult population in Germany is affected by this and it is the second most common chronic ailment after caries.
The inflammation begins without us noticing and develops slowly over a period of years. Periodontitis is also the main cause of tooth loss in adults. The risk of developing other common diseases, such as diabetes, rheumatism or coronary illnesses, is much greater and the severity of the disease much higher if you are suffering from untreated periodontitis.
Although the progress of this disease varies greatly between patients, it can be easily detected and treated early on if you have regular checkups at your dentist. If you notice any signs of gum disease, please don’t hesitate to contact us for advice.
