Periodontal disease refers to infections and inflammation of the gums and bones that support the teeth. It typically progresses in two stages:
Without treatment, periodontitis can lead to tooth loss and damage to the jawbone.
The main cause is plaque—a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth. If plaque isn’t removed by daily brushing and flossing, it can harden into tartar, which can only be removed by a dental professional.
Other risk factors include:
Good oral hygiene is your first line of defense. Here’s what you should be doing:
Prevention is always easier and less expensive than treatment.
One of the most advanced and patient-friendly technologies in preventive dentistry today is EMS-guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT).
Biofilm is the layer of bacteria that forms on teeth and soft tissues. Left untreated, it becomes plaque and eventually tartar, leading to inflammation and gum disease.
GBT is a systematic, pain-free method of professional teeth cleaning that focuses on removing biofilm using the latest EMS Airflow® technology. It uses a combination of air, warm water, and fine powder to gently and effectively remove biofilm from teeth, gums, and even around implants and braces.
GBT not only improves outcomes in periodontal treatment but also enhances patient comfort and satisfaction.
Research continues to reveal how deeply connected oral health is to systemic health. Well-established links include:
If you experience any of the following symptoms, it’s time to consult a dentist:
Your mouth is the gateway to your body. Taking care of your teeth and gums can reduce the risk of serious health issues and improve your overall quality of life. With innovations like EMS-guided Biofilm Therapy, dental care is becoming more effective, comfortable, and personalized.
