“Gum inflammation is silent. But the right care, at the right time, changes everything.”
Dra. Olga Gagieva
Periodontology treatment
Periodontology is the medical speciality dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the supporting tissues of the teeth: gums, bone and periodontal ligament.
These diseases are silent, often without pain, but can have serious consequences. From gum recession, tooth mobility and even tooth loss.
