Treating periodontal disease with modern methods
Everyone wants to have beautiful, healthy teeth, but this is often dependent on the condition of your gums. If your gums become inflamed, loose teeth, pustules or periodontal pockets develop and you experience pain when eating, you may have periodontal disease.
A brief description of periodontal disease
Periodontal disease is caused by an advanced stage of gingivitis. Its main symptom is deep gum pockets, which can cause loose teeth, bad breath and constant inflammation. As the disease progresses, it can lead to the loss of healthy teeth.
To prevent periodontal disease or any other condition, you should see your dentist regularly, even if you do not care. You should have an oral check-up every six months. Timely treatment for your gums will help you maintain a beautiful smile, as problems are easier to treat in their early stages.
Causes of periodontal disease
The main causes of periodontal disease are lack of proper oral hygiene and untimely treatment of tooth decay or other conditions associated with inflammation of the periodontium.
Periodontal disease can also be caused by:
- excessive smoking;
- eating too many sweets;
- eating too many sweets;
- the presence of dental plaque;
- loss of chewing teeth, which puts a lot of pressure on the gums;
- lack of vitamins C and B;
- malocclusion;
- genetic predisposition.
The earlier you go to the dentist and start treatment for periodontal disease, the more effective it will be. It is therefore advisable to make an appointment to have your mouth examined by a specialist.
The first signs of periodontal disease
Periodontal disease develops gradually. Its first symptoms are:
- bad breath due to pustules that have formed;
- bleeding, swelling and redness of the soft tissues;
- increased tooth sensitivity (caused by hot food, cold drinks);
- periodontal pockets;
- tooth mobility;
- formation of tartar.
In some cases, periodontal disease is almost imperceptible, but it is associated with gum deformation, exposed roots and can lead to total tooth loss. Only a qualified specialist professional can determine the extent of gum periodontal disease and prescribe appropriate treatment.
