Periodontics consultation in Albertville
Periodontics treats the tissues that support your teeth: gums and bone. Bleeding, receding gums or bad breath can be signs of a periodontal disease that should be treated early.
Recognising gum disease
Red or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, teeth that seem to loosen or move: these are signs of gingivitis or periodontitis that require a consultation.
The periodontal assessment
We assess the condition of your gums and supporting bone (probing, sometimes X-rays) in order to make a precise diagnosis and propose a suitable treatment.
The treatment
Depending on the stage, treatment combines deep scaling (root planing), targeted hygiene advice and regular follow-up to stabilise the disease and preserve your teeth.
Frequently asked questions
Why are my gums bleeding?+
Bleeding gums when brushing is often the first sign of gingivitis, linked to plaque build-up. Untreated, it can develop into periodontitis.
Can periodontitis cause tooth loss?+
Yes, if it is not treated. Periodontitis gradually destroys the supporting bone. Early treatment can stop its progression and preserve your teeth.
