Periodontics Rome

Taking care of your gums is the first step
towards a healthy smile

What is periodontics?

Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the supporting tissues of the teeth: gums, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and root cementum. Among the most common are gingivitis and periodontitis (also known as pyorrhea), which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.

At our practice in Piazza Casalmaggiore 3, we provide gum care with personalized trattamenti designed to restore periodontal health and improve the patient’s quality of life.

Periodontitis and gingivitis: symptoms not to be underestimated

Many patients come to us when they notice symptoms such as:

  • Gum bleeding, spontaneous or during brushing
  • Red, swollen, or receding gums
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Feeling of loose teeth or widening spaces
  • Appearance of pus between gum and tooth

These signs may indicate advanced periodontitis, and it is crucial to intervene as soon as possible.

How is periodontitis treated?

Every treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. In our practice, we use:

  • Periodontal probing
  • Radiographic analysis
  • Dental mobility assessment
  • Microbiological tests in complex cases

The therapeutic process develops in three main phases:

  1. Causal therapy (non-surgical)
    Removal of subgingival plaque and tartar, personalized oral hygiene instructions, control of risk factors (smoking, diabetes, stress).
  2. Surgical therapy (if necessary)
    In case of deep periodontal pockets, we intervene to remove the infection and, where possible, regenerate bone and supporting tissues.
  3. Periodontal maintenance
    Periodic monitoring, professional oral hygiene, and motivational support to prevent recurrence.

All trattamenti are painless thanks to the use of anestesia locale and minimally invasive technologies.

Gum health protects the entire body

Taking care of gum health means taking care of your overall health. Numerous scientific studies link periodontitis to systemic diseases such as:

  • Diabetes
  • Cardiovascular diseases
  • Alzheimer’s
  • Respiratory disorders
  • Pregnancy complications

The treatment of periodontitis and prevention of gingivitis contribute to reducing systemic inflammation, improving the patient’s overall well-being.

  • Use of advanced technologies, such as operating microscope and low-dose digital radiography
  • Empathetic and motivational approach: we assist the patient in changing incorrect habits and adopting a healthier lifestyle

FAQ

1. Is it possible to prevent periodontitis?

Yes, prevention of periodontitis is possible through proper daily oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and professional cleaning sessions. Avoiding smoking and controlling systemic conditions such as diabetes significantly contributes to reducing the risk of developing periodontal diseases.

Absolutely. Scientific studies have shown a link between periodontitis and various systemic conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and pregnancy complications. Maintaining healthy gums is therefore important not only for oral health but also for overall well-being.

Periodontitis is a chronic condition that can recur if good oral hygiene is not maintained and regular check-ups are not performed. Periodontal maintenance, with periodic visits and cleaning sessions, is essential to prevent the recurrence of the disease.

Yes, it’s possible to experience slight tooth sensitivity after a periodontal cleaning session, especially if there were significant tartar accumulations. This sensation is temporary and tends to decrease within a few days.

Although less common, children can also develop forms of periodontal diseases, often linked to genetic factors or systemic conditions. It’s important to monitor the oral health of young ones and consult a dentist in case of signs such as red or bleeding gums.
