What is Periodontal Disease ?
Periodontal disease, also known as periodontitis, is a common condition that affects the tissues that surround and support the teeth. These tissues, called the periodontium, include the gums, the periodontal ligament, and the alveolar bone. Periodontal disease often starts as a simple inflammation of the gums, known as gingivitis. If untreated, it can progress to become periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss.
The symptoms of periodontal disease can vary, but often include red, swollen or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, and in more severe cases, tooth loss. It is important to note that periodontal disease can progress without obvious symptoms, which is why regular visits to the dentist are so crucial.
The causes of periodontal disease are multiple. The main one is the accumulation of bacterial plaque on the teeth, which if not regularly removed through good oral hygiene, can harden and become tartar. Other risk factors include smoking, a poor diet, stress, and medical conditions such as diabetes.
We, at Dr. Lenia’s Dental Surgery, strongly believe in the importance of oral health education. Understanding what periodontal disease is and how to prevent it is the first step towards a healthy mouth. In the next chapter, we will talk about the importance of prevention in periodontal disease.
The Importance of Prevention
Prevention is the key to maintaining good oral health and effectively combating periodontal disease. We, at Dr. Lenia’s Dental Surgery, firmly believe that a proactive approach to the care of teeth and gums can make a big difference in preventing this disease.
The prevention of periodontal disease begins with good oral hygiene. This includes brushing your teeth at least twice a day, daily use of dental floss, and the use of an antibacterial mouthwash. These simple practices can help remove plaque from teeth and gums, thus preventing the onset of periodontal disease.
In addition, regular visits to the dentist are fundamental for the prevention of periodontal disease. During these visits, your dentist can perform a professional cleaning of your teeth, removing plaque and tartar that have accumulated and cannot be removed with brushing and flossing alone. Your dentist can also detect the early signs of periodontal disease, allowing for timely and more effective treatment.
Finally, a healthy lifestyle can contribute to the prevention of periodontal disease. This includes a balanced diet, quitting smoking, and managing stress. All these factors can affect your oral health and the risk of developing periodontal disease.
