Gum care and strong teeth
Many people notice bleeding when brushing their teeth, but do not attach importance to it. However, this is often how gingivitis begins, which, if left untreated, can develop into periodontitis – a disease that causes bone loss and loosening of teeth.
Periodontology focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gum disease and the supporting structures of the teeth. It is intended for everyone who wants to prevent tooth loss, improve gum health and maintain strong and functional teeth in the future.
What exactly does periodontology address?
Professional care that saves your teeth in time
Periodontology deals with the treatment of inflammatory and degenerative diseases of the gums and tissues that hold the tooth in the jaw. The most common problem is periodontitis – a chronic inflammation that gradually destroys the bone and ligaments around the tooth. If caught early, the process can be stopped and the teeth can be preserved.
Treatment combines professional cleaning, removal of bacterial plaque, measuring the depth of the so-called gum ridges and, in advanced cases, microsurgical procedures for tissue regeneration.
Periodontology is closely related to dental hygiene , which focuses primarily on prevention – i.e. regular removal of plaque, tartar and training in proper cleaning techniques. Periodontology already addresses the consequences of inflammation , i.e. a situation where the supporting apparatus of the teeth has been damaged or bone loss has occurred. Both approaches complement each other: regular dental hygiene helps maintain the results of periodontal treatment and prevent the disease from returning.
Early gum care is always cheaper than subsequent tooth replacement – periodontology is therefore an investment in the future of your teeth.

How periodontal treatment is performed
From the first diagnosis to long-term healthy gums
- Vyšetření a diagnostika
Parodontolog zhodnotí stav dásní, hloubku chobotů a přítomnost zánětu. Součástí je i rentgen, který ukáže, zda došlo ke ztrátě kosti. Na základě výsledků se stanoví plán léčby. - Hloubkové čištění a odstranění zánětu
Nejdříve se odstraní zubní kámen a povlaky z povrchu zubů i z pod dásní. To lze provést ultrazvukem, ručními nástroji nebo laserem. Cílem je vyčistit prostory, kam se běžným čištěním nedostanete. - Kontrola hojení a doléčení
Po několika týdnech následuje kontrola, při které lékař ověří ústup zánětu. V případě potřeby doplní léčbu o chirurgické zákroky – například úpravu dásní nebo regeneraci kosti. - Udržovací fáze
Dlouhodobý výsledek závisí na pravidelné domácí péči a profesionálním čištění každé 3–6 měsíců. Parodontolog sleduje stabilitu dásní a pomáhá zabránit opětovnému zánětu.

Frequently asked questions
No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. After the procedure, you may experience some mild swelling or tenderness, which usually subsides within a few days.
With proper care and regular check-ups, an implant can last for decades – often a lifetime.
From implant placement to crown placement, it usually takes 2-3 months, depending on individual healing.
Maintenance is the same as for your own teeth – regular cleaning, dental hygiene and check-ups at the dentist. This is what will ensure that the implant lasts as long as possible.
With early diagnosis and proper treatment, the inflammation can be stopped and the condition of the gums and bone can be stabilized. Advanced damage cannot always be completely reversed, but its progression can be significantly slowed down and your own teeth can be preserved.
The treatment is usually performed under local anesthesia and is gentle. Some patients may experience mild discomfort during deeper root cleaning, but the pain is well controlled.
Warning signs include bleeding when brushing, red or swollen gums, bad breath, loose teeth, or gaps between teeth. Even minor symptoms should be addressed promptly.
With proper care and regular check-ups, a crown or bridge can last 10–20 years or longer.
The tooth preparation and crown placement itself are performed under local anesthesia, so they are painless.
Just like with your own teeth: regular cleaning, interdental brushes, and visits to a dental hygienist or doctor for checkups.
