Over 80% of people have had issues relating to the health of their gums at one time or another. If your gums bleed while brushing your teeth, do not assume that this is normal. Come to our dental clinic in Algeciras and let yourself be advised by one of our dentists. We will assess the state of your teeth and help you solve this oral health issue that could be restricting your quality of life.

What is periodontitis?

Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease that affects the tissues surrounding, supporting and protecting your teeth: your gums.

In adults, periodontitis is the main reason for losing teeth. This is due to the fact that, when teeth lose their support, this causes the tooth to move, come loose and – eventually – fall out.

¿What exactly are periodontal diseases?

Gingivitis is an oral disease that exclusively affects the gums. It is a completely reversible process that – if left alone to worsen – can lead to periodontitis.

When the gums swell, and deeper damage is produced, periodontitis usually appears. This oral problem affects all the tissues that support the teeth and may also affect your general health, because it increases the risk of cardio-vascular disease, diabetes and premature births.

What are periodontic treatments used for?

By means of a suitable periodontic treatment, the dentists at our clinic in Algeciras will examine your gums and check the state that they are in.
