Teeth only stay in place if their foundations are sound. Periodontics looks after those foundations: the gum, the ligament that attaches each tooth and the bone around it. When bacterial plaque builds up, these tissues become inflamed, first superficially (gingivitis), then sometimes more deeply (periodontitis), which can eventually lead to loose teeth.
These conditions often progress without pain. Gums that bleed when you brush, persistent bad breath or teeth that look longer are all signs not to ignore. Caught early, the problem is simple to treat; later on, it needs closer follow-up.
At German Dental Clinic in Agdal, periodontics is one of Dr Fenjero's areas of practice. Care ranges from prevention to treatment:
- scaling, a regular professional clean that removes tartar and helps prevent inflammation;
- gum treatment, from the periodontal assessment to root planing and maintenance.
Stable, healthy gums are also a prerequisite for implants, crowns or dentures. For a gum check-up in Rabat, you can book an appointment.
