Periodontal Disease is an infection of the teeth, gums and the bones around the teeth. And it’s the leading cause of a tooth loose. Stabbings condition begins with through diagnosis. The main cause of periodontal disease is the accumulation of plaque, the sticky film of food and bacteria that forms constantly on your teeth. The bacteria and plaque invade the spaces between the teeth and gums and begin producing toxins. These toxins combine with your body’s reactions to them destroys the bone around your teeth. Once bone has been lost, it never grows back on its own. When too much bone is lost, there is so little support for teeth. They get loose and have to be removed. If you have periodontal disease, you may have some of the symptoms.
Symptoms of Perio Disease
Healthy gums are tied against the teeth. There aren’t any pockets and they don’t bleed. It is also possible to have no noticeable symptoms when you have Periodontal Disease. In fact most people who have periodontal disease aren’t even aware of it. Because of this we perform a thorough examination with periodontal probe and X-Rays. Periodontal Probing measures the depth of the space in your gums. When you have periodontal disease, these spaces are called pockets. We measure the pockets from the bottom of the pockets where they attached of the tooth to the top of the gums. If probe reading has more than three millimeters, then this is a sign of periodontal disease. In general the deeper the plaques, the greater the spread of periodontal disease. Gum sometimes bleeds during probing. This is also a sign of infection. X-Rays tell us a lot about periodontal disease. In advanced periodontal disease bone levels are much lower than they are in healthy mouth.
Once we’ve found periodontal disease, we will talk with you about treatment options and proper home care to minimize bone lose and to restore the health of your gums.
If you have any additional questions please consult your dentist.
