Periodontitis is an inflammatory process in the tissues surrounding the tooth root, most often caused by complicated cavities or untreated pulpitis. The infection spreads beyond the root canal, causing pain, swelling, discomfort while biting, and in severe cases — the formation of a purulent pocket near the tooth root.
Inflammation doesn’t always appear suddenly, so many patients ignore the early symptoms: mild pain when chewing, sensitivity to pressure, or bad breath. However, without treatment, the condition quickly worsens — the infection reaches the bone tissue, leading to granulomas or cysts, and increasing the risk of tooth loss and complications in the surrounding areas.
Timely consultation with a dentist in Lviv makes it possible to effectively treat periodontitis and preserve even severely affected teeth. At RelaxDent, we use a microscope, apex locators, 3D diagnostics, and biocompatible materials to clean and seal root canals with maximum precision. This helps prevent relapses and further complications.
When treated at an early stage, therapy is comfortable, painless, and doesn’t require surgery. But delaying treatment can lead to tooth loss or the need for implantation. That’s why regular check-ups and a quick response to discomfort are key to a healthy smile.
Periodontitis may develop without sharp pain, so patients often visit the dentist too late — when the infection has already spread deep into the tissues around the root. In the early stages, symptoms include dull pain when chewing, discomfort when pressing on the tooth, and gum swelling. In some cases, there may be bad breath or an abscess. This is the best time to treat the condition and prevent tooth loss.
At RelaxDent Clinic in Lviv, we recommend not waiting for complications — regular check-ups every six months help detect inflammation early, when the tooth can still be saved without complex treatment.
Periodontitis is an inflammation that develops in the tissues surrounding the tooth root. It most often occurs as a complication of untreated pulpitis or advanced caries. When the infection spreads beyond the root canal, it penetrates the periodontal ligament — the structure that holds the tooth in the jaw. At this stage, restoring dental health becomes much more difficult than treating caries or nerve inflammation in time.
The most common cause of periodontitis is delayed or poor-quality cavity treatment, which allows infection to progress deeper into the tooth. Other causes include reinfection after poorly sealed root canals or old restorations that let bacteria through. Many patients also develop periodontitis after dental trauma — even small enamel cracks can open a path for bacteria to reach deep tissues. Orthodontic or prosthetic complications may also contribute, especially when bite pressure changes or crowns and fillings fit loosely.
In addition to mechanical factors, immune health plays a significant role in the development of periodontitis. When the immune system is weakened, the body cannot effectively fight bacteria entering periodontal tissues. This creates a favorable environment for inflammation. Stress, hormonal changes, and systemic diseases can also negatively affect gum and bone tissue health.
