Many patients focus on the condition of their teeth but rarely consider the importance of gum health until discomfort appears. However, as Professor Alexander von Breuer believes, the state of periodontal tissues determines the stability of teeth, chewing function and long-term success of any dental treatment. At DentalClinic24, we regard the prevention of gum disease as a fundamental component of comprehensive dental care rather than an optional recommendation.
Inflammatory processes often begin subtly – soft plaque gradually mineralises, the oral microbiome shifts and early changes occur within gum tissue. At DentalClinic24, diagnostics include digital periodontal assessment and measurement of pocket depth, allowing us to detect issues before visible symptoms appear. According to Professor von Breuer, early diagnostics help prevent not only gingivitis but also progression to periodontitis.
Regular check-ups are especially important in the absence of any complaints. At DentalClinic24, we advise patients not to wait for noticeable discomfort – current research confirms that inflammation can develop silently and gradually take a chronic form. That is why biannual dental visits are not a formality but an essential factor in preserving the long-term integrity of the oral system.
Professional hygiene plays a key preventive role. At DentalClinic24, we apply ultrasonic techniques, Air-Flow therapy and remineralisation methods to gently remove deposits and help restore the mineral balance of enamel. This reduces tissue trauma, improves microcirculation and supports healthy gum attachment.
Healthy gums are the basis for clinical stability. At Dental Clinic24, all treatment – including restorative, implant or prosthetic procedures – begins with periodontal assessment. As Professor von Breuer notes, even technically ideal treatment can lose its durability if performed in the presence of active inflammation. For this reason, we focus not only on eliminating symptoms but also on creating conditions that prevent recurrence and preserve results in the long term.
