Periodontics - DO NOT NEGLECT!

Periodontics is a branch of dentistry deals with gum analysis and treatment. It is the most ignored and the most relevant field of dentistry at the same time since gums are the teeth-supporting soft tissues of the oral cavity. They are the foundations of teeth that are in place to hold them. Gum loosening is equal to teeth loosening. 

If, before or after cleaning, your gum begins to bleed, you are most likely to have gum disease. Gum receding and shifting of the teeth is another common symptom of this disease. Even if you have large pockets between your gums and teeth, be careful. Poor taste or bad breath in your mouth is a symptom that you should be cautious about. One of the most common signs involves changes when biting down or bringing partial dentures together in the way your teeth touch.

Causes of gum diseases!

There are a wide variety of explanations for why gum disease can be caused by it. There will undoubtedly be bad oral and dental practices that will lead to gum disease. Bad oral and dental hygiene habits make it possible to develop Gingivitis, including not brushing correctly, not flossing your teeth, not seeing a dentist. Drugs tend to affect oral health is another factor to be held in mind for someone with a medical condition. As smoking makes it impossible for the gum tissue to repair itself, smokers are at a high risk of gum disease. Hormonal changes cause the gums, such as those that occur during pregnancy, menopause, puberty, and menstruation, more receptive, making Gingivitis easier to develop. A contributing factor to your gum disease may be genetics. There is a reasonable risk of being affected by it if you have a family history of Gingivitis. Very often, illnesses can affect the condition of your gums. Diseases that affect the immune system, such as cancer or HIV, are included.

How to treat gum disease? 

At Dentem, we offer various treatments; gum disease can be annoying and painful and makes eating difficult. It is essential to see a dentist if any of the mentioned symptoms persist or show.

Root Planing and Scaling: The most common method for treating patients with gum diseases is dental scaling. Scaling refers to the removal below the gum line of the plaque bacteria from the tooth surface. Root planing requires the more profound preparation of the teeth' root surfaces so that the gums can be appropriately aligned to the tooth's surface.

Bite Correction: Irregular bites in the oral cavity can lead to different problems. It may cause bone loss and may have a long-term effect on the oral cavity joint. To stabilize the bite, bite-guards are given, and the pressure on the joint and the muscles is reduced.

Antibiotics: Plaque accumulation is due to the collection of micro-organism along the surface of the tooth. Antibiotics treat gum diseases as an adjunctive treatment for scaling and root preparation. Antibiotic mouth rinses may be beneficial to kill the destructive bacteria in the oral cavity.

Splinting: Teeth mobility is a typical patient complaint that is caused by the loss of supporting bone. A dental splint is a system designed to immobilize mobile loose teeth and stabilize them.
