Periodontitis is an inflammation of the tissues surrounding the teeth, which, if left untreated, leads to loosening and tooth loss.
The Veda Stom clinic in Tashkent uses modern methods to stop the disease at an early stage.
We'll tell you how to recognize the problem and keep your gums healthy.
Causes of periodontitis: from poor hygiene to hormonal imbalances
The main factors that provoke inflammation:
- Plaque and tartar are the main culprits. Bacteria destroy the bonds that hold the teeth together.
- Smoking reduces blood supply to the gums.
- Hormonal changes—pregnancy, menopause, diabetes—increase the risk.
- Heredity - 30% patients have a genetic predisposition.
Important! Veda Stom provides a comprehensive diagnosis to identify the cause and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Symptoms: When to See a Doctor? A Self-Diagnosis Checklist
Check yourself:
- Gums bleed when brushing teeth.
- An unpleasant odor has appeared from the mouth, which does not go away after hygiene.
- Teeth appear longer (receding gums).
- “Pockets” have formed between the tooth and gum.
- The teeth became mobile.
If you have two or more symptoms, make an appointment with a periodontist.
