Treatment characteristics

Who is this kind of treatment for?

Periodontal treatment consists of a series of procedures performed to repair the damage caused to our gums and teeth by gingivitis and periodontitis.

Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums that is usually caused by the accumulation of bacteria in the area between the teeth and the gums.

Periodontitis is the result of bacteria under the gums causing inflammation and can even destroy the bone that holds the tooth in place.

Some alarming symptoms which you should visit the dentist about are, among others;

Bleeding when brushing your teeth

Red or blue shades

Tooth sensitivity to cold

Change in tooth position

Bad breath

How is the treatment performed?

After carrying out the diagnostic tests to determine the extent of the disease, the tartar is removed by scraping both around the tooth and under the gum.

What is the result of the treatment?

The outcome is visible from the first moment, similar to when we have a deep dental clean; cleaner teeth, almost total reduction of bleeding and pain caused by inflammation… In short, the result is a healthy, happy mouth!

What recovery time do I need in Spain?

It is not necessary to stay for more than a couple of days, but depending on the severity of the problem, it is possible that the treatment will need to be repeated for some time, periodically, until the problem is completely eliminated.

Once you are in Spain, you will have to make an appointment with your specialist. During this visit, the doctor will open your medical record (for which you will be asked to provide all your medical documentation), perform a physical examination and discuss your treatment plan with you.

After treatment

After the procedure, once the anesthesia wears off, you may feel some discomfort for which you may take some painkillers (prescribed by your dentist).
Some people may have inflammation around the area and even some bruising. This is not cause for worry, it is just the natural reaction of our tissue when recovering from surgery.
