Periodontics
What is Periodontics?
The mildest involvement of the gums is known as GINGIVITIS. This is an oral disease caused mainly by the accumulation of bacterial plaque and tartar on the teeth and gums. When gingivitis is not treated, it can turn into PERIODONTITIS, being a more advanced and serious phase. Both are infections caused by the presence of bacteria.
How is gingivitis manifested?
- Swollen gums.
- Red gums.
- Spontaneous bleeding or while brushing.

Our Methodology
In the case of gingivitis, it is necessary to perform professional hygiene combined with a change in hygiene habits at home to reverse its progression.
In the case of periodontitis, deeper hygiene techniques will be necessary, consisting of sub-gingival and root decontamination of the teeth. This treatment is called Root Scraping and Smoothing. In very advanced stages of the disease, the help of small interventions, periodontal surgery, will be required to ensure total disinfection.
The first Visit
- We evaluate the habits and risk factors predisposed to suffering from gingivitis or periodontitis.
- X-rays: We radiologically record the amount of bone that supports the teeth present.
- Periodontogram (Florida Probe): We measure the relationship between the gum and the tooth (degree of inflammation) and its possible mobility, among other factors. Very precise diagnostic tool that is recorded for each of the teeth up to 6 locations.
- Microbiological test: Through the analysis of dental plaque we know the composition of the bacterial flora, its aggressiveness and the need or not to receive a specific antibiotic treatment.
- Personalized oral hygiene recommendations adapted to each patient.
