Common problems like bad breath, bleeding gums, sensitive teeth, or even loose teeth often stem from the same source. These symptoms signal deeper trouble in your oral health.
Microbes invade your mouth through dental plaque, irritating gums, creating pockets, and producing toxins that erode supporting bone. Over time, this can lead to teeth becoming loose and falling out. Contrary to old beliefs, genetics play no role—it’s primarily microbial overgrowth.
Developed 30 years ago by Canadian dentist Dr. Bonner, this approach has transformed periodontal care. “Today, 98% of my patients achieve full recovery using this method,” shares Dr. Nefissa Berkani, a practitioner with years of experience applying it in France.
Treatment combines in-office procedures—including microscopic analysis of your oral flora—with personalized therapies. Patients play a key role: adopt a thorough twice-daily routine of proper brushing to eliminate germs, flossing, and targeted products. This “ritual” takes about 10 minutes but delivers lasting results. It’s disciplined, yet highly effective.
Depending on severity (from gingivitis to advanced loose teeth), therapy spans 6 months to 1 year, with monthly visits. Costs range from €900 to €4,000, typically not covered by social security, though some mutual insurers offer partial reimbursement.
