“Doctor Medika”, Medika TV – Dr. Anamaria Ghiurcă: “Periodontal disease can exacerbate numerous systemic conditions”

Periodontal disease, or periodontitis, affects not only oral health but also the overall balance of the body. If left untreated, gum inflammation progresses over time and can have serious consequences, ranging from tooth loss to the worsening of systemic conditions.

Appearing on the programme “Doctor Medika”, broadcast on Medika TV, Dr. Anamaria Ghiurcă, a specialist in periodontology, explained how periodontal disease develops, its link to general health, and the role of modern technologies in its treatment. 

Studies show that periodontitis can exacerbate or contribute to the onset of systemic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, neurodegenerative diseases, or even certain types of cancer. In this context, gum health becomes an essential component of general health.

Modern treatments, including laser dentistry, offer effective and minimally invasive solutions for managing periodontal disease. The use of Waterlase® or Epic Biolase® lasers enables precise procedures with reduced discomfort, faster healing and predictable results.
