Gum Disease – Healthy Gums Are the Foundation of Healthy Teeth
Gum disease affects 75% of the adult population in Hungary—a shocking figure, especially considering that it doesn’t just impact the teeth, but also the entire oral cavity and general health. That’s why it’s crucial to seek professional help at the very first signs.
Causes and Symptoms of Gum Disease
Gum disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the tissues surrounding the teeth, caused by bacteria accumulating in dental plaque. It begins as gingivitis (gum inflammation), and if left untreated, the bacteria penetrate deeper, damaging the gums and underlying bone, which can destabilize the teeth and eventually lead to tooth loss.
Common symptoms include:
- Swollen, bleeding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Hair loss and various systemic symptoms throughout the body
Our goal in treating gum disease is to eliminate infection and restore gum health.
Success depends greatly on the patient’s cooperation. Daily oral hygiene must be more thorough, regular professional cleanings are essential, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is highly recommended.
Treatment includes the removal of plaque and tartar above and below the gumline, deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), and antibiotic therapy when necessary.

Steps of Gum Disease Treatment

Dr. Adrián Veress
I graduated from the Semmelweis Faculty of Dentistry, and in addition to my studies, I also worked at the outpatient clinic of the Dental and Oral Surgery Teaching Institute (FSZOI). It is important for me to devote sufficient time not only to the treatment itself, but also to the prior consultation, so that we can carry out the necessary treatments in an informed and cooperative manner with my patients. I perform my treatments with the help of a dental loupe, i.e. with magnifying glasses, so I can pay attention to the smallest possible details.
