Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a common yet preventable condition that affects the gums and teeth-supporting structures. It starts as gingivitis, with symptoms like red, swollen, and bleeding gums, usually due to poor oral hygiene. Without treatment, it can progress to periodontitis, where gums recede and form infection-prone pockets. Factors like smoking, diabetes, and genetics increase the risk. Preventive measures include regular dental check-ups, proper oral hygiene, and quitting smoking. Early treatment is vital to prevent serious complications like tooth loss.
The Impact on Your Oral Health
Untreated gum disease can lead to gum and bone deterioration, tooth loosening, and loss. This affects chewing, speech, and can cause persistent bad breath. Gum disease is also linked to systemic health issues, including heart disease and diabetes complications.
The Importance of Periodontics
Periodontics is the specialized field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating gum disease. Periodontists are specialized in managing advanced cases of gum disease, performing procedures to restore gum health, and placing dental implants.
The best treatment is prevention! Your gum health is crucial for a brighter smile and overall well-being.
