Periodontology
Gum disease develops slowly and often without obvious symptoms at first. At Primadent we treat it with professional cleaning, cleaning of the gum pockets and, at Škofije near Koper and in Ljubljana, laser treatment.
About the condition
Periodontitis is an inflammation of the tissues that support the teeth. It is widespread and develops slowly.
It starts as gingivitis, an inflammation of the gums: the gum around the tooth becomes swollen and red and bleeds easily. If it is not treated, the inflammation spreads to the other supporting tissues, pockets form between the gum and the tooth, bacteria multiply in them, and the supporting tissue and bone start to break down.
At first the symptoms often go unnoticed; later the loss of bone can make teeth loose and lead to tooth loss.
Symptoms
If you notice any of these, book a check-up; the earlier gum disease is treated, the simpler the treatment.
Treatment
Our team includes a periodontologist and dental hygienists.
The dentist checks the state of the gums with a periodontal probe and prepares a treatment plan.
In early stages, treatment is professional cleaning of tartar and plaque and good daily oral hygiene.
Further treatment includes cleaning with air polishing, cleaning of the gum pockets and smoothing of the root surfaces. At Škofije near Koper and in Ljubljana laser treatment of the gum pockets is also available.
Severe forms may need surgical treatment, which is always combined with non-surgical cleaning.
Prices
Treatment of gum disease is planned for each patient, so its price is set after the examination. A binding estimate is prepared by the dentist after the examination.

Questions
Swollen, red gums that bleed when you brush are early signs. Later the gums can recede and teeth can become loose.
Early stages are treated with professional cleaning and good daily oral hygiene; more advanced stages need cleaning of the gum pockets and, in severe cases, surgical treatment. The dentist prepares a plan after the examination.
