Healthy Teeth and Firm Gums for a Lifetime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gum inflammation (gingivitis) occurs in many people \u2013 often unnoticed at first. If left untreated, it can develop into periodontitis (a disease of the periodontium). The cause of gingivitis and periodontitis is bacterial plaque. Therefore, proper oral hygiene is crucial to prevent gingivitis and is also a prerequisite for the success of periodontitis treatment at the dentist. At the dental practice of Dr. Andrea Gerdes & Colleagues in Hamburg-Altona-Ottensen, we specialize in periodontology \u2013 in addition to root canal treatments and TMD \u2013 and are happy to develop an individual treatment plan with you if needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
