Healthy teeth need a healthy foundation. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of the tooth-supporting tissue that often goes unnoticed for a long time.
05 — Tooth-supporting tissue
Detect early, treat precisely
Early signs can be bleeding gums, bad breath or receding gums. Left untreated, the condition can lead to loss of jawbone and eventually to the loss of teeth. Early diagnosis and targeted treatment help to halt this process and to keep your natural teeth for the long term.
Current periodontal care begins with precise diagnostics and an individually adapted therapy. At our practice in Munich-Haidhausen we treat periodontitis in line with current scientific evidence.
The treatment
By cleaning the gum pockets thoroughly and gently, we remove bacterial deposits even in places that are hard to reach. This creates the conditions for inflammation to subside and for the supporting tissue to stabilise.
Throughout, your individual needs and a treatment that is as comfortable as possible remain central.
Aftercare: the longer part of the journey
Our work does not end with the treatment itself. Because periodontitis is a chronic condition, long-term aftercare matters a great deal.
With regular check-ups, an individually adapted supportive therapy and personal advice, we accompany you after the treatment is complete. Our shared aim is to secure the result and to keep your natural teeth for as long as possible.
Frequently asked
What patients ask us about this
How do I recognise periodontitis?
Periodontitis often develops gradually and therefore goes unnoticed for a long time. Early signs can be bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, reddened or swollen gums, and persistent bad breath.
If such symptoms persist despite good oral hygiene at home, we recommend an examination. In advanced stages the gums may recede, teeth may appear longer or become loose.
The earlier periodontitis is detected, the better its progression can be halted.
Is the treatment painful?
Periodontal treatment is generally well tolerated and should not be painful. Sensitive areas can be anaesthetised locally beforehand, so that cleaning the gum pockets is as comfortable as possible.
How often do I need aftercare?
That depends on your individual risk. The further periodontitis has advanced, the closer together check-ups and prevention appointments should be.
General health conditions, smoking, diet and oral hygiene at home also influence the interval. With good care and stable findings the intervals can be longer. We set the right frequency together, based on your risk profile and the treatment result.
