Preventing or treating gum diseases; brings other benefits such as protecting natural teeth, providing more comfortable chewing and better digestion.
Periodontal diseases start with gum inflammation (gingivitis). In other words gingivitis is the early stage of periodontal disease. During this period, the gums are bleeding, red and enlarged in volume. It may not cause much discomfort in the early stages. If left untreated, the disease can progress to periodontitis, causing irreversible damage to the gums and alveolar bone that supports the teeth.
Periodontitis is a more advanced stage of periodontal diseases. Damage occurs to the alveolar bone along with other tissues that support the teeth. A “periodontal pocket” forms between the tooth and the gum. The presence of a periodontal pocket facilitates the location of the infection and the progression of the disease. As the disease progresses, the teeth begin to shake and may even need to be extracted.
How is it applied?Treatment in the early stages of gum disease involves removing the plaque and tartar on the teeth and providing a smooth root surface. This process removes bacteria and irritants that cause inflammation in the gums. This treatment is usually sufficient for the gums to adapt to the teeth again or for the gums to shrink and eliminate the pocket.
In the early stages of gum disease, in the majority of cases, daily effective oral care following tartar cleaning, plaque removal and a smooth root surface is sufficient for successful treatment. More advanced cases may require surgical treatment. The aim of this treatment is to clean tartar in the deep periodontal pockets surrounding the teeth, to eliminate the pocket by shrinking and to provide a smooth root surface and to create a more easily cleanable gum form.
After periodontal treatment, patients should be examined regularly by a dentist, plaque control and new tartar accumulations should be removed from the environment. However, it should not be forgotten that no procedure is more beneficial for the continuation of what is achieved with periodontal treatment than the person's effective daily oral care procedures.
