The goal is to prevent further damage and preserve the natural teeth.

Periodontitis treatment in Belgium involves deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) and possibly surgery for advanced cases. It aims to prevent tooth loss by addressing gum inflammation. Pockets between tooth and gum are cleaned to prevent bacterial build-up.
Advanced treatments may include bone or tissue grafts, and the use of lasers or antibiotics. Waiting time for initial appointment is around 1-2 weeks.
