periodontology
Periodontics is the speciality of dentistry that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the gums or periodontal diseases. Periodontal treatments must be carried out by a periodontist. Our periodontics department includes professionals with specific training in this area and the most advanced technology for the study and treatment of periodontal diseases. At Dental Girona we have the Florida probe, the most advanced equipment for the diagnosis and control of the evolution of periodontal diseases.
prevention
Good oral hygiene is essential to maintain healthy gums and avoid periodontal diseases such as gingivitis or periodontitis. Correct daily oral hygiene is essential and should be complemented by regular visits to the dentist. The periodontist is the professional qualified to carry out a complete study and diagnosis of your periodontal health.

gingivitis
Gingivitis is the first stage of periodontal disease. In this phase the bacteria only cause inflammation and bleeding of the gums, but if we do not treat this initial situation it will progress to periodontitis. Gingivitis is reversible with medical treatment and precise oral hygiene.
periodontitis
Periodontitis is a more advanced stage of periodontal disease, in which bacteria are introduced between the teeth and the gums, producing an inflammatory process and causing the destruction of the tissues and bone that support the teeth. It usually affects all the teeth. If it is not treated in time, tooth loss can occur. Periodontitis can be controlled, but it is difficult to recover the lost bone, so it is very important to detect it as early as possible. Once the periodontal disease has been treated, preventive treatment must be followed, consisting of regular visits to the specialist, to prevent it from reactivating.
gum aesthetics
For a natural and pleasing smile, the appearance of the gums is just as important as the appearance of the teeth.
gum recession
It is the exposure of the root of the affected teeth from the retraction of the gum that covers them. Using microsurgical techniques we can cover the exposed root and improve the aesthetics and health of the gum.
the gummy smile
Some patients show too much gum when they smile as it covers too much of their teeth. It is possible to increase the amount of tooth showing with a gum reduction, thus achieving a more aesthetic, natural and pleasant smile.
