Periodontal Diseases

Periodontitis, also commonly known as gum disease or periodontal disease, begins with bacterial growth in your mouth and may lead to tooth loss if not adequately treated due to the destruction of the tissue surrounding your teeth. Gum inflammation or gingivitis is the mildest form of periodontal disease.

Your gums become red, swollen, and tend to bleed easily.

This stage is generally painless and is often caused by inadequate oral hygiene. Gum inflammation can easily be reversed with a dental cleaning and good oral health care. Smoking, diabetes, pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations, systemic diseases are the most common causes leading to swollen gums and increase periodontal diseases. Bacteria residing in your mouth infect tissues around the tooth and cause inflammation that often leads to periodontal disease.

When bacteria reside on the teeth for a more extended period, plaque biofilm is formed, which eventually hardens to tartar, called calculus.

This tartar buildup can spread below the gum line, making it harder to clean.

Only a dental health professional can remove the tartar through periodontitis cleaning to stop the disease’s progression.

GINGIVITIS TO PERIODONTITIS

If not treated at the right time, gingivitis progresses to Periodontitis.

Bacterial accumulation and further production of toxins can lead to gum separation and pocket formation. As the disease progresses, the pockets deepen, and more gum tissue and bone are destroyed, causing tooth loss.

There are various types of periodontal disease, such as;

1. Aggressive Periodontitis: this typically occurs in patients who are otherwise clinically healthy and generally shows attachment loss.
2. Chronic Periodontitis: This is the most common form of Periodontitis. Chronic Periodontitis results in inflammation of tissues around your teeth, resulting in further bone loss and deep pocket formation.
3. Necrotizing Periodontal Diseases: An infection involves necrosis of gum tissues, bone, and periodontal breakdown. This disease is most common in patients with systemic conditions.

Symptoms of Periodontitis usually depends upon the stage of the disease, but generally, you may experience;

1. Bleeding gums while you brush your teeth or floss.
2. Bad breath and foul taste.
3. Changes in the position of your teeth or loose teeth.
4. Receding gums.
5. Red, tender, or swollen gums.
6. Plaque or tartar buildup.
7. Pain while chewing.
8. Tooth loss.

A periodontist or dental hygienist diagnoses periodontal disease during a routine periodontal examination.

A small periodontal probe is gently used to measure the formed pocket (sulcus) between the tooth and the gums.

2 – 3 millimeters of pocket depth usually marks a healthy pocket.

The periodontal probe helps to indicate if pockets are deeper than the minimum depth. As periodontal disease progresses, these pockets usually get deeper and loosen your tooth.

Our dental care team will give you instructions on reducing the number of bacteria in your mouth, which involves keeping your teeth and gums plaque-free. Our dentist will advise on how to use toothbrushes and dental floss properly and recommend other oral hygiene products like mouthwash.

Here is how you can keep your teeth healthy:

1. Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
2. Consider using an electric toothbrush, which may be more effective.
3. Floss at least once a day to remove plaque.
4. Visit your dentist at least twice a year for professional cleaning.
5. Don’t smoke or chew tobacco.

Periodontal pockets that form by the attachment loss need a deep cleaning or scaling to ensure maximum healing.

Our dentist will remove plaque buildup from your teeth and their roots during a professional cleaning and then polish your teeth and treat them with fluoride. A deep-cleaning or scaling and root planing remove any tartar buildup as well as any rough spots on the root of the tooth that accumulates bacteria.

Your dentist will keep you on follow-up for a few weeks and then about every three to six months after that to assess your progress. If periodontal pockets are still present, they may recommend other treatment options, like surgery and bone grafting.

All of this does sound scary, but you can prevent it in an instant by coming in at Zia dental care and signing up for a family dentist; it’s easy and reliable.

All dental specialists begin by completing dental school, then continue their education for additional specialized training. During training in the field of pediatric dentistry, a ped dentist gains extensive knowledge and experience in treating infants, children, and adolescents.
Our pediatric dentists enjoy working with children and bring to each patient our expertise in childhood development and behavior.

Periodontal diseases are prolonged infections of the gums that will gradually destroy the support structure of your natural teeth. These dental diseases can affect the tissues and underlying bone leading to tooth loss.

Periodontal treatments become necessary when periodontal diseases affect the health of your gums or bone, causing damage.
Unhealthy gums can lead to receding, swollen and red gums once the disease progresses. In later stages of the condition, the supporting bone may start to deteriorate, and your teeth will shift, become loose or, in the most severe cases, fall out.

Since every patient is different, your dentist will have to complete your initial examination first before we can establish your treatment plan and any associated fees and cost.
