Gum disease treatment in Litomyšl

Effective periodontal care in Nova Smile for lasting gum health

What is Periodontitis?

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the tissues surrounding the tooth (periodontium). If left untreated, it can lead to tooth mobility and even tooth loss. The infection weakens the bond between the tooth and bone, causes the gums to recede, and leads to deep periodontal pockets where plaque and bacteria accumulate. At Nova Smile Dental Clinic in Litomyšl, we use advanced techniques to stop the progression of periodontitis and restore gum health.

Periodontitis can be:

  • Localized – affecting a single tooth

  • Generalized – spreading across the entire jaw

It can be difficult to detect early on. Please see a dentist if you notice:

  • Bleeding gums

  • Enlarged gaps between teeth

  • Bad breath

  • Gum recession or exposed tooth roots

  • Red, swollen, or painful gums

  • Tooth mobility in advanced stages

Causes of periodontitis

The main cause of periodontitis is bacterial plaque, but other contributing factors include:

  • Poor oral hygiene

  • Smoking or excessive alcohol consumption

  • Dental calculus (tartar) and untreated cavities

  • Dental trauma

  • Side effects of medications (antibiotics, antidepressants)

How we treat gum disease at Nova Smile Dental Clinic

Our main goal is to reduce bacterial load and inflammation. We design each treatment plan based on diagnostics such as X-rays, periodontal measurements, and visual exams.

Paradontities treatment at Nova Smile includes:

  • Professional cleaning to remove soft plaque

  • Ultrasound therapy to break down tartar and clean shallow pockets

  • Scaling and root planing (curettage) for deeper pockets

  • Laser therapy or PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) to accelerate healing and tissue regeneration

Prevention: How to avoid gum disease?

  • Daily oral hygiene. Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and antibacterial toothpaste. Use dental floss or an irrigator to clean between teeth.

  • Regular professional cleaning. Visit your dentist in Litomyšl every 6 months to remove tartar and plaque that home care cannot reach.

  • Healthy diet. Reduce sugar and sticky foods. Include vitamin C-rich and calcium-rich foods to support gum and tooth health.

  • Avoid harmful habits. Smoking and alcohol impair blood flow to the gums. Quitting significantly lowers your risk.

  • Control chronic conditions. Diabetes and hormonal imbalances can worsen gum disease. Work with your doctor to manage them effectively.

We also recommend using chlorhexidine rinses and massaging the gums to boost circulation.
