It is a superficial inflammation of the gum, usually identified by bleeding during brushing. If not treated properly, can progress to Periodontitis
It is a deeper infection that causes periodontal pocket formation and loss of bone that supports the tooth.. These gum diseases usually evolve painlessly and silently., manifesting clearly only in advanced stages. Thus, Early diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.
These diseases are more common than is believed and are often not given the necessary importance., assuming bleeding gums are normal.
Treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis follows several important steps to restore gum health and prevent tooth loss..
In the initial phase, Scaling and root planing is performed to remove tartar and bacteria from under the gums, accompanied by precise instructions on oral hygiene techniques and their correct application.
In more advanced cases, It may be necessary to proceed to a second phase of treatment that includes minor surgeries on the gums to correct defects left by periodontal disease..
Finally, A regular maintenance program is established to monitor and prevent disease recurrence, especially if previously identified risk factors persist. This monitoring is crucial to ensure that the gums remain healthy and to avoid future complications..
If you notice bleeding, inflammation, bad breath, bad mouth taste, dental mobility, increased sensitivity or feeling that your teeth look longer than usual, could be signs of gingivitis or periodontitis.
Periodontal diseases, like periodontitis, They are caused mainly by the action of bacteria that normally live in the mouth, existing more than 700 different types. These bacteria accumulate on the teeth, gums and dental restorations, forming a bacterial plaque when oral hygiene is poor or incorrect. This plate especially concentrates on hard to reach areas, such as spaces between teeth and fissures in molars, where bacteria can multiply protected from saliva and brushing.
further, Several factors can contribute to the development and progression of periodontal diseases., such as tobacco, stress, systemic diseases such as diabetes, a weakened immune system and hormonal changes such as those that occur during pregnancy or menopause. These environmental factors, combined with genetic predispositions, play a crucial role in the severity of oral tissue destruction associated with these diseases.
The disease not only affects oral health, but is also associated with additional risks to general health. For example, There is scientific evidence that links periodontitis with a greater risk of cardiovascular problems, uncontrolled diabetes, respiratory infections and even premature birth.
Diabetes: The relationship between diabetes and periodontitis is bidirectional. The presence of periodontitis can make it difficult to control blood glucose in diabetic patients., increasing insulin resistance and complicating disease management. further, The inflammation caused by periodontitis can negatively affect the metabolism and immune response of diabetic patients., increasing your vulnerability to infections.
Cardiovascular disease: Periodontitis is a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis.. The presence of bacteria and inflammatory toxins released by periodontitis may contribute to the development and progression of arterial obstruction, increasing the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as coronary syndromes.
Both diseases share modifiable risk factors such as smoking and obesity., which are closely linked to lifestyle. Therefore, Implementation of a comprehensive approach to periodontal treatment should include programs aimed at helping patients quit smoking and make lifestyle modifications., such as improvements in diet and physical activity, to promote both oral and general health.
