Gum-Disease Periodontal treatment

Gum disease and periodontal disease are common dental problems that are seen in people. This issue occurs due to plaque buildup and poor oral hygiene, which eventually affects the gums and teeth. If not treated timely, this disease can cause gum and bone loss. 

Causes and risk factors of gum disease

Gum disease and periodontal disease are mostly caused by plaque buildup and poor oral hygiene. When we do not clean our teeth and gums properly, plaque (a sticky bacteria layer) builds up on the gums. If this plaque is not removed, it appears to convert into hard tartar, which can only be removed by a dental care professional. Some common risk factors that trigger gum disease:

  1. Poor oral hygiene: not regularly brushing and flossing increases the risk of plaque buildup and infection.
  2. Smoking and Tobacco Use: This habit damages the gum tissue and also reduces the treatment success.
  3. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal changes during pregnancy and menopause make gums sensitive and infection-prone.
  4. Diabetes: High blood sugar increases the risk of gum infection.
  5. Genetics: Some people are genetically more prone to gum disease.
  6. Stress: Stress can weaken the immune system, which makes it difficult to fight infection.

Why Periodontal Treatment is Necessary

If gum disease remains untreated, it can affect not only mouth health but also overall health. In advanced stages, gum disease can also cause tooth loss. These are some of the reasons why periodontal treatment is necessary:

  1. Preserving Teeth and Gums: Treatment controls infection and keeps teeth and gums healthy.
  2. Pain and discomfort: gum disease can cause pain and discomfort, which can be managed with treatment.
  3. Health Benefits: Studies have shown that untreated gum disease can also increase the health risk of heart disease and diabetes.
  4. Maintain smile and confidence: With healthy gums and teeth, your smile and confidence also remain better.

Common Myths About Gum Disease

There are some misconceptions about gum disease that can confuse people. These are some common myths that need to be addressed:

  1. Bleeding Gums Are Normal: Many people think that bleeding during brushing or flossing is normal, but it could be an early sign of gum disease.
  2. Gum Disease Only Happens to Old People: Gum disease can occur at any age, especially if oral hygiene is weak.
  3. Gum Disease Affects Only Teeth: This disease can impact not only your gums and teeth but also your overall health.
  4. Once Treated, Gum Disease May Not Come Back Good oral hygiene and regular check-ups are important even after treatment because gum disease may come back.
