What exactly are Gum Diseases?
- Gum disease is a gum line that can spread to the bone that surrounds and supports your teeth.
- Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, begins with bacterial development in the mouth.
- Bacteria in the dental plaque, a microbial biofilm that accumulates on the teeth and gingiva, cause localised inflammation of the gingiva. This condition affects over 70% of the population at some time in their lives.
- Despite the fact that it is such a common ailment, most individuals are ignorant of the problem and the consequences it may create.
Causes
- Gum disease is mostly caused by inadequate oral hygiene.
- he risks of bacteria buildup are increased if you do not brush or floss correctly.
However, there are other factors as well, such as:
- Tobacco use, whether smoking or chewing, makes it difficult for gum tissues to heal.
- Certain drugs (oral contraceptives, steroids, anticonvulsants, calcium channel blockers, and chemotherapy) reduce the flow of saliva, which preserves teeth and gums.
- Some medications can even promote abnormal gum tissue development.
- Teeth that are crooked or misaligned
- Hormonal changes such as puberty, menstruation, menopause, pregnancy etc. can make your gums sensitive and as a result prone to gum disorders.
- Certain illnesses, such as cancer and HIV, weaken your immune system and put you at risk of getting them.
Symptoms of Gum disease
- Bleeding of gums when you brush or floss your teeth
- Gums being pulled away from the teeth
- Teeth thinning
- When you bite, the way your teeth fit together changes (malocclusion)
- Pus between the teeth and the gums
- Chewing discomfort
- Sensitivity of the teeth
- Gums that are painful, red, or swollen
- Inadequately fitting partial dentures
- Bad breath that persists even after brushing
- Formation of a large gap between the gums and the teeth
Gum Diseases stages or types
Gingivitis:
- This is the first stage of gum disease, which is characterized by plaque buildup on the gums. If plaque remains after brushing and flossing, it might cause irritation. You will feel your gums bleeding when brushing and flossing at this point. Because the bone is not injured at this point, the prospects of recovery are extremely good.
Periodontitis:
- Gingivitis, if not treated promptly, can progress to periodontitis. This stage begins to impact your bones. As a result of the formation of spaces between the bone and the gum line, bacteria will find a place to deposit their food. Periodontitis can be avoided if you visit your dentist on time. Periodontitis is a severe condition.
Periodontitis in advance:
- This is the ultimate stage of gum disease, when your bone is damaged, causing your teeth to loosen even more. Surgery is the only way to salvage this. And, if the situation is severe enough, even surgery may not be able to preserve your tooth, forcing your dentist to take it.
Gum disease treatment option:
- Treatment options are determined by the stage of gum disease. It is also determined by your medical history and overall health.
Non-surgical therapies are available as well as surgical ones.
- Deep cleaning is one of the non-surgical options.
- This is done at the very beginning of the development of a gum disease. Plaque or tartar (which hardens the tooth surface) will be removed from below and above the gum line by your dentist.
- It is a preventative technique that can help you avoid gum disease.
Gummy disease prevention
- Brush your teeth at least twice every day (with a fluoride toothpaste).
- Floss at least once a day to eliminate plaque from between your teeth.
- Every 6 months, see your dentist for a regular check-up and expert cleaning.
- Give up smoking.
