Specialist Dentist in Periodontology
Health & MedicinePeriodontists treat patients with periodontitis - one of the most common diseases of the oral cavity. Bacteria on the tartar cause inflammation of the gums, which then spreads to the fibrous apparatus that anchors the tooth in the bone and the surrounding bone, leading to gum and bone loss - in extreme cases to the loss of teeth. Periodontists regularly check the development of the periodontium, remove soft and hard plaque and motivate their patients to optimise their dental hygiene. They plan and place dental implants and also monitor their health.
