A periodontist—who is it, and when should you see one?
Periodontology deals with the treatment of diseases of the periodontium and the oral mucosa. The most common conditions are periodontal diseases—commonly referred to as periodontitis. Symptoms include bleeding gums, inflammation, bad breath, and loose teeth.
It is worth remembering that changes in the gums and mucous membranes can also be the first sign of serious systemic diseases, including even cancer.
The Impladent Clinic in Gdańsk is home to an experienced specialist in periodontology and mucosal diseases—Dr. Elżbieta Łaska, M.D., Ph.D. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan are the foundation of effective therapy. Drawing on many years of experience and expertise, our team provides treatment in line with the latest trends in modern dentistry.
Periodontal Treatment in Gdańsk – Stages and Methods
The treatment process is supervised by a periodontist, and preventive care is provided by certified dental hygienists. As a result, every patient receives comprehensive and personalized care.
Gum disease and bone disease around teeth and implants are becoming an increasingly serious problem in modern society. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can effectively prevent tooth loss and help you maintain a healthy smile for many years to come.
The main causes of periodontal disease include:
- genetic predisposition,
- malocclusions,
- the presence of bacterial plaque and tartar,
- smoking.
These problems lead to gum inflammation, which over time destroys the bone surrounding the teeth and implants. Patients who attend regular checkups and maintain good oral hygiene are more likely to respond well to regenerative treatment.
At our clinic, we use modern procedures such as:
bone augmentation treatments,
gum and connective tissue grafts,
Emdogain, a product that supports the natural regeneration of lost periodontal tissue.

Your most frequently asked questions
What is periodontology, and why is it important?
First, a brief explanation: periodontology is a branch of dentistry that focuses on treating periodontal diseases—that is, diseases of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth (gums, bone, root cementum, and ligaments). When these tissues are healthy, your smile is safe. Unfortunately, gum and bone diseases—commonly known as periodontitis—are a widespread problem in modern society. That is precisely why preventive dentistry is a better choice than any treatment for periodontitis, even the most advanced one.
What is periodontitis, and what causes it?
Periodontitis is an inflammation of the gums that was not treated in time. In its chronic form , it leads to bone destruction, which in the worst-case scenario can result in tooth loss. Many people think it’s just a cosmetic issue, but it’s a serious disease requiring specialized periodontal treatment. The main factors that cause the disease are: plaque and tartar, genetic predisposition, and malocclusion.
How can I tell if I have a periodontal problem?
The most common symptoms include bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, redness, swelling, bad breath (halitosis), and, in more advanced stages, loose teeth or receding gums (gum recession). If you notice bleeding, you should consult a specialist as soon as possible to develop a treatment plan for periodontal disease.
Is periodontitis hereditary?
Yes, genetic factors influence susceptibility to developing the disease. If your parents or siblings have had severe gum problems, you are at a higher risk of developing the condition yourself. In such cases, rigorous preventive dental care, as well as more frequent checkups and professional dental cleaning, are especially important.
What are the consequences of untreated periodontitis?
The main and most serious consequence is the progressive destruction of the bone surrounding the teeth, which leads to their gradual loss. Untreated periodontal disease also affects overall health, increasing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and pregnancy complications. That is why early treatment of periodontal disease is so important.
Can periodontitis recur after treatment?
Yes. Treatment for periodontal disease eliminates the symptoms and effects of the disease, but it does not eliminate the predisposition to it. Periodontal disease tends to recur, which is why a maintenance phase is essential after intensive treatment. This involves extremely thorough oral hygiene at home, supplemented by regular professional dental cleanings and follow-up visits to a periodontist. Without discipline in oral hygiene, the problem will return.
