Treatment of Periodontitis in Kyiv

Periodontitis – it is an inflammatory disease that affects the tissues that surround the tooth. It can be accompanied by damage to the bone, ligaments that support the tooth, as well as the formation of cysts inside the jaw. The problem cannot go away by itself and requires qualified treatment. If you consult a dentist at an early stage, the treatment of periodontitis can last from several weeks to several months. With late treatment, when the disease has progressed, recovery can be delayed for several months or more. Sometimes surgical intervention is required.

What will happen if periodontitis is not treated

Ignoring and postponing the treatment of periodontitis can lead to serious and irreversible consequences:

• loss of teeth;

• exacerbation of infection;

• deterioration of general health;

• bad breath;

• pain while eating.

Treatment of periodontitis in Kyiv in the early stages greatly simplifies the therapy process and helps to avoid these serious consequences.

Symptoms of the disease
