Periodontics is the dental specialty responsible for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum and bone diseases that supports the teeth. Problems such as gingivitis or periodontitis are very common and, if not treated in time, can cause anything from bad breath and bleeding to tooth loss.
At Asistencia Dental Plus, we have over 20 years of experience treating periodontal disease, using personalized protocols and cutting-edge technology. Our goal is to keep your gums healthy and your smile strong and lasting.

Periodontal disease does not affect all patients in the same way. Some people experience initial gum inflammation, while others may develop loss of support, deep periodontal pockets, gum recession, or tooth mobility.
Therefore, before prescribing a treatment, in Asistencia Dental Plus We perform a periodontal assessment to determine the actual condition of the gums, the supporting bone, and the factors that may be influencing the evolution of the problem.
He periodontal study This is the first step in accurately diagnosing the condition of the gums. During this assessment, we analyze whether there is inflammation, bleeding, gum recession, tooth mobility, tartar buildup, or loss of support around the teeth.
To do this, we can perform periodontal probing, digital radiographs, and other diagnostic tests that allow us to assess the depth of the periodontal pockets and the condition of the bone that supports the teeth.
This study is essential to differentiate between early gingivitis and more advanced periodontitis, and to plan the most appropriate treatment in each case.
The professional cleaning It removes plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth and along the gum line. In cases of early inflammation, it may be enough to control gingivitis when combined with good oral hygiene at home.
When tartar and bacteria accumulate below the gum line, periodontal scaling may be necessary. This treatment allows for deeper cleaning, reduces the bacterial load, and controls tissue inflammation.
The goal is to slow the progression of periodontal disease and restore more stable and healthy gums.
He root planing It is a periodontal procedure performed on the surface of the tooth root when there are periodontal pockets or an accumulation of bacteria under the gum.
Its purpose is to remove tartar, plaque, and toxins adhered to the tooth root, leaving a cleaner surface less conducive to bacterial buildup. This helps reduce inflammation and promotes gum healing.
I wouldn't present it as a treatment that "regenerates" on its own, because that might be an overpromising statement. It's better to say that It promotes tissue stabilization and periodontal healing., always according to each patient's response.
The periodontal surgery It may be indicated in more advanced cases, especially when there are deep pockets that cannot be controlled with non-surgical treatments alone.
This type of treatment allows access to deep areas to better clean the root of the tooth, remodel tissues or, in certain cases, apply regenerative techniques when there is bone loss or periodontal tissue loss.
Not all patients with periodontitis require surgery. It is assessed after diagnosis and, usually, after evaluating how the gums respond to initial periodontal treatment.
He periodontal maintenance This is an essential phase of treatment. Once the disease is under control, the gums need regular checkups to prevent relapses and maintain the achieved stability.
These visits allow for monitoring hygiene, checking for bleeding, measuring the evolution of periodontal pockets, removing plaque and accumulated tartar, and detecting any signs of disease reactivation.
The frequency of maintenance depends on each individual case. In some patients, it may be recommended every 3 or 4 months, while in others it may be spaced further apart, depending on periodontal risk, oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes, or other factors.
Not all gum problems require the same treatment. Gingivitis can be managed with a professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene, while periodontitis may require scaling, root planing, regular maintenance, or periodontal surgery in more advanced cases.
