Prevention or treatment of gum disease; It also brings other benefits such as the protection of natural teeth, more comfortable chewing and better digestion.

Periodontal diseases begin with gingivitis. In other words, gingivitis is the early stage of periodontal disease. During this period, the gums are bleeding, red and enlarged in volume. It may not cause much discomfort in the early period. If left untreated, the disease may progress to periodontitis and cause irreversible damage to the gums and alveolar bone that supports the teeth.

Periodontitis is a more advanced stage of periodontal diseases. Damage occurs in the alveolar bone along with other tissues that support the teeth. A “periodontal pocket” is formed between the tooth and the gum. The presence of periodontal pocket facilitates the localization of the infection and the progression of the disease. As the disease progresses, the teeth begin to shake and may even go into extraction.
