Treatment of gingivitis

Gingivitis, also known as gingivitis, is one of the most common diseases that still affects the vast majority of the population today. It manifests itself very subtly at first, but its neglect leads to periodontitis (periodontal disease) and can result in complete tooth loss.

Gingivitis is caused by the accumulation of plaque and tartar both in the neck of the teeth and in between the teeth. The organism reacts to this condition by creating inflammation as a defensive reaction. The first signs of inflammation are swelling, bleeding during cleaning and discoloration of the gum. There is also mild soreness, which in unfavourable cases can result in considerable pain. If the condition does not improve in the long term, inflammation also affects the so-called hinge apparatus of the teeth, i.e. the bone bed and ligaments on which the teeth are attached. This stage is already called periodontitis (periodontitis). Massive bacterial intoxication of the whole body during long-term gingivitis can also contribute to myocardial infarction, stroke or premature births.

The sad fact is that this disease is mainly caused by poor or insufficient oral hygiene. In other words, with proper brushing and regular supervision by your dentist and dental hygienist, you can avoid inflammation altogether.

The actual treatment of gingivitis consists primarily of instruction in proper brushing techniques. The patient should be instructed on how to use the toothbrush correctly and what type of toothbrush to choose. And interdental brushes, including dental floss, are not to be missed. To manage acute and painful conditions, we use special strong disinfectant rinses and gels that quickly and effectively reduce the level of inflammation.

At Podkovka Dental Centre we not only have a well-coordinated team, but also state-of-the-art equipment. Thus, perfect cleaning of the mouth and treatment of gingivitis is our priority. Hand, rotary, ultrasonic and air-flow instruments are used for the actual work to achieve clean teeth and subsequently healthy and strong gums. Everything happens painlessly and in a calm atmosphere where you can completely relax and unwind.

If you’re worried that gingivitis treatment could affect you, don’t be afraid to entrust yourself to our care. The treatment costs 1200 to 1950 CZK. To arrange a convenient consultation, please contact us on 725 094 931 or via the form on our website.

Treatment of periodontal disease, periodontology

Periodontitis (incorrectly called periodontitis, periodontitis) is an inconspicuous but all the more insidious disease of the oral cavity. It manifests itself very subtly at first, but its consequences can be fatal.

Initially, periodontal disease manifests itself only as a slight inflammation of the gums and bleeding during cleaning. Periodontal disease is caused by the build-up of plaque and tartar on the neck of the teeth and the body responds by creating inflammation as a defensive reaction. The first signs of gingivitis are swelling, discoloration of the gums, mild soreness and bleeding. If the condition does not improve in the long term, inflammation also affects the so-called hinge apparatus of the teeth, i.e. the bone bed and ligaments on which the teeth are attached. In the advanced stage, the teeth begin to move and have significantly exposed necks. The last, terminal stage of periodontal disease is the complete loss of teeth. Massive intoxication of the whole organism in periodontal disease can also contribute to myocardial infarction, stroke or premature births.

The sad part is that 99% of this disease is caused solely by poor or inadequate oral hygiene. In other words, as long as we brush our teeth properly and are under the regular supervision of a dentist and dental hygienist, we don’t have to worry about periodontal disease.

The actual treatment of periodontal disease is dealt with in the field of Periodontology and consists mainly in the instruction of the correct tooth cleaning technique and its control. It also includes plaque cleaning, teeth splinting and removal of supragingival and subgingival tartar. If necessary, other surgical and regenerative techniques are used.

The advantage of the Podkovka Dental Centre is that you will find here a well-coordinated team of doctors in the field of Parodontology. A dental hygienist and a surgeon under one roof are able to fully assist you in the treatment of periodontal disease.

If you are worried that periodontal disease could affect you, don’t be afraid to entrust yourself to our care. Contact us and we will certainly find a suitable date for you.

In our dental centre we use the VECTOR PARO system.

Tartar removal

Tartar and its removal is the job of a dental hygienist. The presence of tartar is highly irritating and provokes an inflammatory reaction, which manifests itself in gingivitis and subsequent periodontitis. It is definitely not a good idea to leave tartar in the oral cavity.

However, it is a good idea to first understand how tartar is formed. Plaque constantly builds up on the teeth and needs to be cleaned with a toothbrush and other tools. Especially interdental brushes and floss. Plaque, if not removed, organizes and becomes more compact. When minerals from saliva get trapped in it, tooth mineral, or tartar, is formed. So it is not true that tartar just forms out of thin air. We contribute to its formation by brushing our teeth incorrectly or insufficiently. In other words, if we brush our teeth properly and carefully and if we are under the regular care of a dental hygienist and a dentist, we do not have to worry about tartar and periodontal disease at all.

In the Podkovka Dental Centre we have a certified specialist in dental hygiene and the most modern equipment. Thus, perfect cleaning of the mouth and removal of tartar is our daily routine. Manual, rotary, ultrasonic and air-flow instruments are used for the actual work, with the help of which clean and beautiful teeth are achieved. Everything happens painlessly and in a calm atmosphere where you can completely relax and unwind.

So if you want to have clean and healthy teeth, because healthy and clean teeth cannot get tooth decay or periodontal disease, entrust yourself to the care of our dental hygienist. A visit costs from CZK 1,200 to 1,950 and if the patient heeds the advice and recommendations, it is enough to have their teeth professionally cleaned in another half to one year.
