Periodontology – Gentle Treatment for Gum Recession & Periodontitis
Periodontitis can lead to serious consequences: gum recession, loose teeth and even tooth loss. At smilin’’, we treat periodontal disease gently and effectively — using modern technology, precise instruments and personalised care. This allows us to preserve your oral health and overall well-being.
What is periodontology & when is it needed?
Periodontitis develops when bacteria accumulate in the space between the tooth and the gum.
Early signs include bleeding gums, gum recession, sensitivity and, in later stages, loose teeth.
If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to bone loss and tooth loss. At smilin’’, we therefore focus on early diagnosis and ongoing care.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is periodontitis curable?
Complete healing depends on the stage of the disease. Early stages can be effectively treated, and even in advanced cases inflammation can be controlled and tooth loss prevented.
Does the treatment hurt?
Our methods are as gentle as possible. Local anaesthesia, fine instruments and ultrasound technology help keep any discomfort to a minimum.
How long does it take to notice improvements?
Initial improvements — such as reduced bleeding or sensitivity — can often be felt after just a few days; visible gum regeneration typically takes more time.
What can I do at home?
Thorough oral hygiene (brushing + interdental cleaning), regular dental check-ups, and avoiding risk factors such as smoking or high sugar intake.
