Signs are: inflamed gums (deep red, shiny appearance), bleeding gums that do not disappear after 2-3 days, receding gums, tooth mobility, unpleasant smell (halitosis).

Unfortunately most of the time NO! So the patient does not realise and does not get to the surgery on time. Instead its complications, such as periodontal abscesses DA, hurt a lot and leave irreparable consequences (bone loss). This is why regular check-ups are necessary.

In patients who have periodontitis and do not undergo periodontal treatment, it can lead to accelerated tooth loss.

Our recommendation is to use the electric toothbrush, because with it you can brush more efficiently and at the same time comfortably.

We recommend regular check-ups every 6 months for patients who have no major problems. However, for patients with periodontitis, implants and braces, a check-up every 3 months is recommended.

With metal-free crowns this does not occur. Another aspect is that the degree of intervention on the tooth is less for crowns without metal components, leaving a greater quantity of dental tissue, which is beneficial for the patient.
