What Does Periodontal Care Address?
Gingival Tissue
The gums protect the roots of teeth and the underlying bone. Healthy gums are pink, firm, and do not bleed during brushing.
Periodontal Ligament
The ligament that holds the tooth in its socket, allowing micro-movements during chewing.
Alveolar Bone
The bone that supports the teeth. Periodontal disease can cause bone loss, leading to tooth mobility.
Gingivitis Treatment: Cure Gum Inflammation
Symptoms
Gingivitis is the first stage of gum disease. Symptoms can include red or swollen gums, bleeding during brushing, increased sensitivity and persistent bad breath. Early professional assessment and appropriate care can usually restore gum health.
Treatment
Professional gingivitis care can include thorough scaling to remove plaque and tartar, polishing and personalized oral-hygiene instructions. Our dental team adapts treatment to the condition of your gums and your comfort.
Periodontitis Treatments: Stop Gum Disease Progression
Symptoms
Periodontitis is an advanced gum disease requiring professional intervention. Characterized by deep periodontal pockets, gum recession exposing roots, progressive tooth mobility, bone loss, and increased risk of tooth loss. Early periodontitis treatment is essential.
Treatment
Care begins with a periodontal assessment, followed when indicated by deep scaling and root planing (curettage). Laura Musat and Dragos Miscodan provide this initial non-surgical care as general dentists. After reassessment, advanced or surgical cases are referred to a periodontist.
Dental Curettage & Root Planing: Deep Cleaning
Dental Curettage
Dental curettage, or subgingival debridement, is a deep cleaning procedure performed by a dentist to remove bacterial deposits below the gum line. This initial non-surgical treatment can be carried out under local anesthesia for your comfort.
Root Planing
Root planing smooths the tooth-root surfaces and removes deposits below the gum line. Combined with scaling and appropriate home care, this periodontal treatment helps control inflammation and stabilize the condition.
When Referral Is Needed
When the assessment identifies advanced disease, a need for gum grafting, regenerative treatment or periodontal surgery, we explain the findings and refer the patient to a periodontist with recognized postgraduate training.
Maintenance
Long-term periodontal stability depends on regular follow-up with the dental team: professional cleaning at an interval adapted to your risk, periodic reassessment and personalized oral-hygiene advice.
Gum Recession Treatment
Gum Recession
Gum recession exposes tooth roots and can cause sensitivity or aesthetic concerns. Our dentists assess the cause, check periodontal stability and discuss the appropriate initial care. When grafting or regenerative treatment is indicated, we arrange referral to a periodontist.
Risk Factors and Prevention
Risk Factors
Poor oral hygiene leading to gum inflammation, smoking (main modifiable factor), poorly controlled diabetes, genetic factors, chronic stress, hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause), and certain medications causing dry mouth.
Prevention
Twice-daily brushing with a soft toothbrush, daily interdental cleaning, check-ups at an interval adapted to your risk, regular professional cleaning, smoking cessation and a balanced diet all support gum health.
Link Between Periodontal and General Health
Systemic Impact
Research shows close links between periodontal diseases and cardiovascular conditions (increased risk of heart attack and stroke), diabetes (bidirectional relationship with glycemic control), pregnancy complications (prematurity risk), and respiratory diseases.

The cost of periodontal care depends on the extent of the assessment and treatment required.
