Gum disease therapy by Dr Ruegenberg in Ratingen

Besides tooth decay, gum disease is one of the most common causes of tooth loss. The danger is that the disease often progresses painlessly and goes unnoticed for some time.

The gums are most affected by plaque build-up and bacterial colonisation. Thorough cleaning can help here (prophylactic treatment). But other causes that ultimately result in the exposure of dental roots can be prevented by applying the right treatment.

In recent years, there have been major advances in therapeutic concepts for the treatment of gum disease. Today, teeth once considered beyond repair can often be saved. Our policy is to develop – with you – a therapy plan geared to your individual needs.
