Periodontitis

Untreated gingivitis usually becomes periodontitis, a condition wherein the gums are pulling away from the teeth forming pockets that become infected with bacteria. As the plaque spreads and grows below the gum line, our body's immune system tries to fight this infection. When the body enzymes react, this causes the supporting bones and connective tissues to break down and eventually loosens the teeth. Most of the time, the symptoms of periodontal disease go unnoticed until it reaches the advanced condition. Some visible signs of periodontal disease are: persistent bad breath, red swollen, and bleeding gums, pain when chewing, and loose and sensitive teeth.

Do You Have Gingivitis? Oh No!

Have you experienced having traces of blood after brushing? Do you think it is normal and not worthy of any further thought? Well, you better think again. You might already be suffering from gingivitis without even knowing it!

According to the American Dental Association, or ADA, three out of four adults suffer from gingivitis. If left untreated, gingivitis can lead to gum disease, which is the leading cause of some serious dental problems and tooth loss in adults.

To prevent gingivitis and its eventual progression into a full-blown gum disease, it would be best to visit your dentist regularly. Only the dentist can diagnose the problem and give you the necessary advice and treatments.
