In the first phase of periodontitis treatment, the external causes of the disease are eliminated to establish the conditions required for healing. The bacterial infection is treated first in the hygiene phase, with professional tooth cleaning by dental hygienists at the dental practice and instruction of the patient in oral hygiene. Professional cleaning includes removal of plaque, tartar and the bacteria that cause the disease. After the initial therapy, the degree of oral tissue inflammation is reduced.
