Gingivitis and periodontitis
Gum treatment
Oral health goes far beyond just brushing your teeth. Our gums play a crucial role in maintaining a bright smile and overall good health. However, conditions such as gingivitis and periodontitis are often overlooked, even though they can have serious consequences if not treated promptly.
Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gums.
Gingivitis is primarily caused by the accumulation of bacterial plaque. It manifests as red, swollen gums that bleed easily, especially during brushing or flossing. Fortunately, gingivitis is reversible with good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
If gingivitis is not treated, it can progress to periodontitis, a more serious infection. Periodontitis affects not only the gums but also the tissues and bones that support the teeth. This disease can cause gradual tooth loosening and, in advanced cases, tooth loss. It is often insidious, as it can develop without obvious pain, making prevention even more essential.
Adopting a rigorous daily routine is key: thorough brushing, flossing, and regular visits to your dental health professional. If symptoms persist, such as frequent bleeding, bad breath, or discomfort, do not hesitate to consult a dentist.
