The treatment of specific pathologies in this area, such as gingivitis and periodontitis (which cause bleeding gums, reduced gum size, tooth root exposure, tooth mobility and sometimes tooth loss) ensures that the teeth remain intact and healthy throughout life.
Prevent and treat diseases of the gum and the bone that supports the teeth.
Book an appointment at Poço Novo Clinic to assess the health of your teeth.
Gingivitis is an inflammation caused by bacterial plaque. Inflamed gums are reddish, swollen and can bleed when brushed. It is frequently caused by incorrect oral hygiene that can be resolved if it is detected in good time.
Gingivitis can develop into periodontitis, affecting the bone that surrounds and holds the teeth leaving them unstable. The gums begin to loosen and recede causing plaque to settle on the roots, fibres and bone leaving the teeth unprotected.
