Periodontics: the foundation of your oral health
At Debod Dental Clinic, in Argüelles, Madrid, periodontics deals with the tissues that support the teeth: the gums, the alveolar bone and the periodontal ligament. Without a healthy periodontal foundation, any other dental treatment loses its footing.
Periodontal disease: a silent problem
Periodontitis is the second most common cause of tooth loss, and many people are unaware they have it until the damage is significant. The warning signs are:
- Gums that bleed when brushing or spontaneously
- Reddened, inflamed or receding gums
- Loose teeth
- Persistent bad breath
- Root sensitivity
Our periodontal treatments
- Scaling and root planing: Removal of bacterial plaque and tartar from the root surfaces.
- Periodontal surgery: For advanced cases that do not respond to conservative treatment.
- Gum graft: Restoration of receding gum tissue.
- Gingivoplasty: Reshaping of the gum contour.
- Periodontal maintenance: Regular check-ups to maintain the results.
The link between periodontal health and your general health
Periodontitis is scientifically associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, complications during pregnancy and other systemic conditions. Looking after your gums means looking after your overall health.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about periodontics in Argüelles, Madrid.
Bleeding when brushing is usually the first sign of gingivitis, an inflammation caused by plaque build-up. Left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis and affect the bone that supports your teeth. It is best assessed as soon as possible.
Gingivitis is reversible with treatment and proper hygiene. Periodontitis cannot be reversed, but it can be controlled and stabilised with periodontal treatment and maintenance, preventing it from progressing.
Unlike a standard cleaning, periodontal treatment (scaling and root planing) removes tartar from below the gum line to halt the infection. It can be done under local anaesthetic for your comfort.
