TEAM 15 - Your specialist for periodontology in Zug.
You're in good hands here. The periodontal department in our dental practice in Zug is led by Dr. Carolin Fischer and Dr. Frederic Hermann. Periodontology is a central area of expertise in our practice. Dr. Carolin Fischer completed her specialization in periodontology under Prof. Dr. N. P. Lang at the University of Bern. Dr. Hermann has also undergone postgraduate training and specialization in this field. With their extensive experience and solid competence in the field of periodontology, Dr. Hermann and Dr. Fischer are recognized experts. Our practitioners are supported by our team of trained dental hygienists. When treating periodontitis, we rely on proven concepts and modern technologies. We proceed systematically, achieving sustainable therapeutic success.
Periodontology describes the study of the entire tooth-supporting apparatus, which includes the gums as well as the underlying bone. The periodontal apparatus secures the natural teeth in the jawbone through a fiber apparatus. When the system is affected by a disease (e.g., periodontitis, gum disease), it can become disrupted. Periodontitis is a bacterial inflammation of the periodontal apparatus. The consequences can include gum recession, bone loss, or tooth loss. Moreover, the pathogenic bacteria from the inflammation can spread throughout the body via the bloodstream. In recent years, scientific research has increasingly highlighted the significance of a healthy oral cavity for our overall health. The dangerous aspect of periodontitis is that it often begins silently, with warning signs going unnoticed for a long time. Consequently, periodontitis can spread unchecked in the mouth. During regular check-ups at our dental practice, we can identify periodontitis early and provide effective treatment.
Pay attention to initial signs: These symptoms may indicate periodontitis:
The dental field of periodontology deals with the condition of periodontitis and peri-implantitis (inflammation around implants). In periodontal treatment, the focus is on sustainable disease management and the reconstruction of damaged tissues (e.g., gum recession). In our practice, we always adhere to the latest scientific knowledge. Every treatment follows the principle of "as minimally invasive as possible." Particularly in the treatment of aggressive or chronic periodontitis, we initially try to control the disease with non-surgical measures.
