Paradontology in Florence

Periodontology is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention and treatment of the soft and hard tissues that support the tooth, ensuring its stability.

Gingivitis is the first stage of periodontal disease and manifests itself with a superficial inflammation of the gum tissues. The main symptoms of gingivitis are swelling, redness and bleeding of the gums, caused by the accumulation of bacterial plaque. If left untreated, gingivitis can evolve into periodontitis in 20-30% of cases.

Periodontal therapy focuses on the thorough removal of local inflammatory factors, such as plaque and tartar. This process includes educating the patient on proper oral hygiene techniques and correcting the gum and bone damage caused by the disease.



• Home Oral Hygiene: It is essential for patients to maintain meticulous oral hygiene at home, with regular check-ups and professional cleanings to sustain the results achieved from periodontal therapy.
• Non-Surgical Therapy: This involves the mechanical removal of plaque and subgingival tartar through scaling and root planing.
• Surgical Therapy: In more advanced cases, periodontal surgery may be required to reduce periodontal pockets and regenerate damaged tissues.
