Gum Treatment in Torrevieja
Periodontics diagnoses and treats gum and bone disease that supports the teeth, from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis.
What it is and who it's for
The gum and bone around each tooth can become inflamed from a build-up of bacterial plaque. In its early stage, gingivitis, the gum bleeds easily but the bone isn't affected yet. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, with gradual loss of the supporting bone.
It's indicated for patients with bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, tooth mobility or gum recession. The earlier it's detected, the simpler the treatment: that's why a periodic check-up — included in any maintenance visit — helps catch it in time.
How we do it at this clinic
Diagnosis includes periodontal probing, which measures the depth of the gum pocket around each tooth, and an X-ray when the bone level needs assessing. With that data we determine whether the case is reversible gingivitis treatable with professional cleaning, or periodontitis requiring more specific treatment.
The usual treatment combines a deep clean below the gumline (scaling and root planing) with personalised hygiene instructions, and progress is reviewed at follow-up visits. In more advanced cases, the patient is told what options exist and how many sessions each one usually takes before starting.

It's usually a sign of gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease. It's best checked as soon as possible, because at this stage treatment is simpler and the bone hasn't been affected yet.
It can be controlled and its progress stopped with the right treatment and good ongoing maintenance, although lost bone doesn't always fully recover. That's why early detection matters so much.
It's a deep clean below the gumline that removes plaque and tartar built up on the tooth root, where daily brushing can't reach.
It depends on the stage of the disease and how many teeth are affected; this is explained at the initial assessment.
Yes, it's one of the common symptoms, along with bleeding and, in more advanced stages, tooth mobility.
A periodic check-up is recommended just like for the rest of the mouth; in patients with a history of periodontitis, the interval is usually more frequent.
