Periodontics in Casablanca: treating the gums
Periodontics deals with the health of the gums and the bone that support the teeth. Without treatment, diseased gums can lead to gum recession and then tooth loss. At Casa Anoual Dental Clinic, treatment is adapted to the severity of the condition.
Are your gums warning you?
These signs justify a periodontal assessment, even without pain.
| The sign | What it may indicate |
|---|---|
| Gums that bleed when brushing | Inflammation of the gums (gingivitis). |
| Red or swollen gums | A build-up of plaque and tartar. |
| Persistent bad breath | Bacteria lodged under the gum. |
| Teeth that look longer | A receding gum. |
| Loose teeth | Loss of supporting bone (periodontitis): see us without delay. |
Gingivitis or periodontitis?
Two stages of the same disease, with very different consequences.
| Criterion | Gingivitis | Periodontitis |
|---|---|---|
| What is affected | The gum, on the surface | The gum and the bone supporting the tooth |
| Signs | Bleeding, red gums | Bleeding, receding gums, loose teeth |
| Reversible? | Yes, with scaling and good hygiene | Lost bone does not grow back on its own; treatment stabilises |
| Treatment | Scaling, hygiene advice | Assessment, root planing, re-evaluation and maintenance |
Periodontal treatment
From simple scaling to close follow-up over several months, depending on severity.
Periodontal assessment
Measuring the depth of gum pockets and assessing bone loss.
Scaling and root planing
Removal of tartar and bacteria under the gum, area by area if needed.
Re-evaluation
Check of healing a few weeks after treatment.
Maintenance
Follow-up sessions, usually every 3 to 6 months, to keep the result stable over time.
A loose tooth can often be stabilised
The earlier periodontitis is treated, the more likely it is to stabilise the teeth and avoid extraction. Don't wait for pain to appear: the disease is often silent.
Gums: your questions
Is root planing painful?
Deep root planing is done under local anaesthesia. Temporary tooth sensitivity may persist for a few days.
Can a loose tooth be saved?
It depends on the degree of bone loss. Prompt treatment often stabilises the tooth and avoids extraction.
How often is periodontal follow-up needed?
Usually every 3 to 6 months after the initial treatment, depending on severity and response to treatment.
Are bleeding gums serious?
It is the first sign of inflammation. Caught early, it is easily treated; don't stop brushing your teeth, but come and see us.
