One of the most common causes of tooth loss is not cavities, but gum diseases that progress insidiously. A healthy tooth can only remain in the mouth with healthy gum and bone tissue. In our Periodontology department, diagnosis and treatment of problems such as gum bleeding, bad breath, tartar accumulation, loose teeth, and gum recession are performed.

Gingivitis diagnosed at an early stage can be easily reversed with professional teeth cleaning and good oral care education. However, if left untreated, the disease turns into bone loss (periodontitis) and tooth loss begins. In our clinic, infections are cleaned painlessly with ultrasonic devices and laser-assisted deep cleaning (curettage) procedures.

It should not be forgotten that gum health is directly related to general body health. It has been scientifically proven that untreated gum infections increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, premature birth, and stroke. Therefore, a regular periodontist check-up every 6 months is of vital importance.
