Treatment of Nerve realised by the Dr. Marcela Vargas

Periodontia means the tooth’s surroundings. Periodontal illnesses are slow evolving infections, where bacteria, fungus, viruses and microorganisms can damage the tissues and the supporting bone around the teeth, causing the gums to separate from the teeth’s roots and forming gaps; where there are infections, inflammation, and the formation of pus.


Gingivitis is the lesser form of periodontal illness and is characterized by irritation and inflammation of the gums, bleeding while brushing and bad breath. If it isn’t treated in time, it can change into pathological periodontics, that causes gum and bone loss provoking dental mobility and loss of teeth, compromising the esthetic and good function. If you don’t treat periodontal illnesses within a certain period of time, they can finally lead to the loss of your teeth.

Treatment:

:• In the initial stage of disease the treatment consists of cleaning called scaling and planing
around the roots of the teeth involved.

•In advanced cases may require surgery.
