Gum Treatment and Prevention

In most cases, tooth decay is not at all responsible for caries, but gum disease. According to the World Health Organization, today about 50% of children and almost 90% of adults suffer from them. Gingivitis is recognized as the most common misfortune, and periodontitis is recognized as the most insidious. The latter is unpleasant in that in the early stages it practically does not manifest itself in any way, but in later teeth it can be removed from the mouth with almost handfuls. Pay attention to gum disease, the treatment of which will help to avoid a catastrophe.

Why do gum diseases occur?

The main reason is poor oral hygiene. If the teeth are not cleaned enough, plaque accumulates on their surface, which eventually becomes denser and turns into tartar. Without treatment, bacteria that cause gum disease, gingivitis, settle in the stone. Outwardly, it is manifested by slight swelling, bleeding and bad breath.

If urgent measures are not taken, the gum exfoliates in the lower part of the teeth - so-called periodontal pockets are formed, into which bacteria continue to “fill up”. Periodontitis develops. Under the influence of microbes, the underlying tissues are destroyed, which leads to loosening and loss of teeth.

No less dangerous is periodontal disease, in which the neck of the teeth are exposed without signs of inflammation. What provokes this disease is not completely clear, but it is believed that it is inherited.

Gum disease - treatment makes sense

To maintain good gum health, we recommend that you follow 3 simple guidelines:

1. Properly care for your teeth. In brushing your teeth, there are secrets that our dentists must tell at the appointment to each patient.
2. Visit your dentist regularly. No matter how carefully you clean the plaque, it will still accumulate in places inaccessible to the toothbrush. Therefore, every 3-6 months. it is necessary to do professional cleaning at the dentist. In addition, during a routine examination, the doctor will be able to diagnose diseases of the teeth and gums at an early stage and conduct their effective treatment.
3. Maintain a healthy and balanced diet. Gums, like other body structures, need enough vitamins and minerals.
