Periodontics – GEORGE BOCARI
At GJERGJI BOCARI, periodontology focuses on diagnosing and treating problems with the gums and tissues that hold the teeth firmly in the jaw. Many problems begin silently (without pain), but can progress and lead to tooth movement or loss if not treated in time. With regular check-ups and professional treatment, most cases are successfully managed.
What is Periodontics?
Periodontics is the field of dentistry that deals with:
- the gums (gingiva)
- the bone and ligaments that support the teeth
- the treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis (periodontal disease)
Gingivitis or Periodontitis?
Gingivitis: inflammation of the gums (usually with bleeding). It is the early stage and is often reversible with treatment and good hygiene.
Periodontitis: advanced inflammation that also affects the bone. It can cause periodontal “pockets,” gum recession, and tooth movement. Early treatment is key to saving your teeth.
Signs not to ignore
If you have one or more of these symptoms, a check-up is recommended:
- gums that bleed when brushing or flossing
- red, swollen, tender gums
- recurrent bad breath
- recession of gums (teeth appear “longer”)
- sensitivity to cold/hot
- teeth movement or change in bite
- presence of tartar around teeth
