Periodontology in Cannes — Gum treatment
Healthy gums are the invisible foundation of your smile and the condition for every strong tooth.
Periodontal disease — gingivitis, then periodontitis — is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Yet it is often painless in its early stages, which makes it all the more dangerous: by the time pain sets in, the damage is often already advanced.
Warning signs to watch for
Gums bleeding when brushing
Red, swollen or receding gums
Persistent bad breath
Teeth that seem to be "lengthening" (receding gums)
Loose teeth
If you recognize one or more of these signs, don't wait.
Periodontitis caught early is straightforward to treat; left unattended, it leads to tooth loss.
The importance of gum health
First periodontology consultation
Thorough examination of your gums, measurement of periodontal pocket depth, assessment of bone level by X-ray. We establish a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan suited to your situation.
Complete periodontal assessment
Systematic periodontal probing, long-cone radiographic status, evaluation of risk factors. This assessment is the roadmap for your treatment and allows us to track the progress of your gum health precisely.
Non-surgical treatment
Deep scaling and root planing under anesthesia, to remove the tartar and bacteria lodged beneath the gum. In many cases, this treatment is enough to halt the disease.
Periodontal surgery & regeneration
When the disease is advanced, surgical techniques allow the affected areas to be treated and, in some cases, the lost supporting tissues to be regenerated using latest-generation biomaterials.
