Dental gum diseases are very dangerous when they attack the teeth. One of the conditions which have threatened dental health for some time is periodontal disease. Many adults are infected with this disease every year. It starts through damaging the bone or the soft tissue which offer your tooth firm support and with time it may cause loss of teeth.
Prospects For Gum disease
Gum disease in not common to young people who are underneath the age of 30 years. However, adults between thirty and forty years are at high risks of infection. Statistically, men are more likely to be infected than women. Gum disease is primarily caused by oral plaque, which accumulates underneath the gum line.
Gingivitis Infection
The longer plaque and tartar stay on teeth, the more damaging it becomes. The bacteria cause inflammation of the gums called “gingivitis.” In gingivitis, the gums become red, swollen that will bleed easily. Gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease that can normally be corrected with daily brushing and flossing, and regular cleaning by a dentist or dental hygienist. This kind of gum disease does not cause any loss of bone or tissue that hold teeth in place.
Is It Periodontitis
When gingivitis is not addressed, it can progress to “periodontitis” (which means “inflammation around the tooth.”) In periodontitis, gums distance themself from the teeth and develop spaces (called “pockets”) that become damaged. Your body’s immune system battles the bacteria as the plaque spreads and grows below the gum line. Bacterial toxins and the body’s natural response to infection start to break down the bone and connective tissue that hold teeth in place. If not treated, the bones, gums, and tissue that support the teeth break down. The teeth may gradually become loose and need removal.
Signs and Symptoms of Gum Disease
It is very important to be aware of the symptoms of gum disease. A few of these warning signs consist of loose teeth, regular bleeding of gums, red or swollen gums, bad breath, and sensitive teeth. If you happen to have one of these warning signs, reach out and contact us. You may be at high risk of gingivitis or periodontal gum disease.
