If so, you may have <strong>periodontitis<\/strong>. This is an inflammation of the gums and the tissues surrounding your teeth and molars, which can also lead to jawbone loss.<br \/>Periodontitis does not always cause pain. As a result, the condition can go unnoticed for a long time.<br \/>At <strong>We Smile Tandartsen in Leiden<\/strong>, we examine the health of your gums and discuss the treatment required to prevent further damage as much as possible.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-wat-is-parodontitis\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is periodontitis?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the tissues supporting the teeth and molars.<br \/>The condition is caused by the body&#8217;s reaction to bacteria in dental plaque. This often begins with a superficial gum inflammation, also known as <em>gingivitis<\/em>.<br \/>When the inflammation spreads, deeper spaces can develop between the tooth and the gum. These are called <strong>pockets<\/strong>. Eventually, the jawbone surrounding the teeth can also be broken down.<br \/>The distinction is important:   <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Gingivitis:<\/strong> inflamed gums without loss of supporting tissue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Periodontitis:<\/strong> inflammation where supporting tissue and jawbone are also lost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lost jawbone usually does not grow back on its own after a standard dental cleaning. However, with proper treatment, the disease can often be stabilized. <\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-wat-zijn-de-symptomen-van-parodontitis\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the symptoms of periodontitis?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Periodontitis often develops gradually. Possible signs include: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bleeding gums during brushing or cleaning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Red, swollen, or sensitive gums.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Receding gums.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Persistent bad breath.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gaps between teeth that appear to be widening.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loose teeth or molars.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Please note:<\/strong> periodontitis can also be present without clear symptoms or bleeding.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why we also check the health of your gums during periodic check-ups.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-hoe-wordt-parodontitis-behandeld\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is periodontitis treated?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Treatment is aimed at reducing inflammation and preventing further loss of supporting tissue.<\/p>\n\n<h5 id=\"h-onderzoek-van-het-tandvlees\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examination of the gums<\/h5>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dentist or dental hygienist measures the pockets around your teeth and molars. If necessary, X-rays are taken to assess the bone level.<br \/>A treatment plan is drawn up based on this data. <\/p>\n\n<h5 id=\"h-grondige-reiniging-door-de-mondhygienist\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thorough cleaning by <a href=\"https:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl\/en\/dental-hygienist\/\">the dental hygienist<\/a><\/h5>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of periodontitis, plaque and tartar are carefully removed above and below the gum line.<br \/>The dental hygienist also cleans the root surfaces. This allows the inflamed tissues the opportunity to recover.<br \/>In addition, you will receive personalized advice on tooth brushing and the use of interdental brushes. <\/p>\n\n<h5 id=\"h-herbeoordeling-en-nazorg\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Re-evaluation and aftercare<\/h5>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the initial treatment phase, the gums are examined again. During this process, we assess whether the inflammation has subsided and if the pockets have become shallower.<br \/>In the case of persistent deep pockets, additional treatment or a referral to a periodontist may be necessary.<br \/>Even after successful treatment, regular aftercare appointments remain important. <\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-doet-een-parodontitisbehandeling-pijn\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is periodontitis treatment painful?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A deep dental cleaning can be sensitive, especially when the gums are severely inflamed.<br \/>If necessary, the treatment can be performed under local anesthesia.<br \/>At We Smile Tandartsen, we also utilize the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl\/en\/painless-anesthesia-at-the-dentist-how-does-the-quicksleeper-work\/\">QuickSleeper<\/a><\/strong>, a computer-controlled anesthesia system that can be used for suitable treatments.<br \/>After cleaning, your teeth may be temporarily more sensitive to cold drinks. This sensitivity usually subsides gradually. <\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-wat-gebeurt-er-als-parodontitis-niet-wordt-behandeld\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens if periodontitis is left untreated?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When periodontitis remains untreated, the inflammation can progress and affect more and more supporting tissue.<br \/>Possible consequences include:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Further loss of jawbone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Receding gums.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loose teeth and molars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eventual loss of teeth or molars.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The earlier periodontitis is detected and treated, the greater the chance that your own teeth can be preserved.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-hoe-kunt-u-parodontitis-voorkomen\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can you prevent periodontitis?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good daily oral care is essential to prevent gum problems and to keep treated periodontitis stable.<br \/>We recommend:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean between your teeth daily using appropriate interdental brushes or other tools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stop smoking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have your gums checked regularly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow the aftercare appointments with the dental hygienist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diabetes and genetic predisposition can also influence the risk of periodontitis.<br \/>Have you had periodontitis before? Then proper aftercare remains important, even when your gums feel healthy again. <\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-parodontitis-behandelen-bij-we-smile-tandartsen-in-leiden\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treating periodontitis at We Smile Tandartsen in Leiden<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you have bleeding gums, receding gums, or are you unsure about the health of your teeth?<br \/>At <strong>We Smile Tandartsen in Leiden<\/strong>, we can examine your gums and determine if treatment by the dental hygienist is necessary.<br \/>We discuss the findings, the treatment plan, and the expected costs in advance.<br \/>Would you like to have your gums checked? <a href=\"https:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl\/en\/make-an-appointment\/\">Make an appointment<\/a> or read more about our <a href=\"https:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl\/tandarts-leiden\/\">dental practice in Leiden<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Healthy gums are the foundation for the long-term preservation of your own teeth and molars.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Periodontitis can unnoticedly lead to bone loss and loose teeth.

Nieuwe pati\u00ebnten zijn van harte welkom bij onze praktijk aan de Hoge Rijndijk in Leiden.","email":"info@leiden-tandarts.nl","telephone":"0718080809","legalName":"We Smile Tandartsen","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":"1","maxValue":"10"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/2f90c0df6662a6b09b60d8f11b027ab0","name":"Amir Adel","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/eaa5597ef15b9b8e0f126f6bc6048306e7502d5df192e468ebef37a9a773cb6b?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/eaa5597ef15b9b8e0f126f6bc6048306e7502d5df192e468ebef37a9a773cb6b?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/eaa5597ef15b9b8e0f126f6bc6048306e7502d5df192e468ebef37a9a773cb6b?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Amir Adel"},"sameAs":["http:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl"],"url":"https:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl\/en\/author\/admin-amir\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5429"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5429\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5431,"href":"https:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5429\/revisions\/5431"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leiden-tandarts.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
