Gum treatment
Gum treatment in Marostica covers gingivitis and periodontitis: diagnosis, cleaning of pockets, hygiene instruction and follow-up to stabilise tissues and reduce the risk of tooth loss.
Practice in Marostica (VI)
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the tooth’s supporting tissues. It is not solved by mouthwash alone: deposits under the gum must be removed and daily hygiene improved.
Many cases respond to non-surgical therapy. If deep pockets or inflammation remain, we consider surgical options or a specialist referral.
Smoking, diabetes and irregular hygiene affect the outlook. We discuss this in practical terms, because results also depend on daily habits.
We treat patients from Marostica and the Bassano and Thiene area who want a clear plan for periodontitis, without alarmism.
Care pathway

Frequently asked questions
Is gum bleeding normal?
No. It is a sign of inflammation and should be assessed. It may be reversible gingivitis or established periodontitis.
Can periodontitis be cured?
It can usually be controlled and stabilised with therapy and maintenance. Lost tissue does not always return, but progression can often be slowed or stopped.
Is surgery required?
Not always. We start with non-surgical therapy and reassess. Surgery is considered if pockets or anatomy cannot otherwise be cleaned.
How long does maintenance last?
It is long term. As with other chronic conditions, regular recalls reduce the risk of relapse.
