Gum disease is a set of diseases characterized by inflammation of the gums. Plaque accumulation, poor oral hygiene, smoking, stress, hormonal changes and genetic factors are among the factors that contribute to the development of gum disease. Here is more information about gum disease:
Gingivitis: Gingivitis, diş etlerinin hafif bir iltihaplanmasıdır. The gingival margins become red, swollen and bleed. Bad breath can also be observed. Gingivitis is the most common gum disease and can be treated with regular care and cleaning.
Periodontitis: When gingivitis is not treated, the stage, also known as periodontitis, is the damage to the gums and surrounding tissues. In this inflamed condition, the gums separate and the bone around the teeth melts. As a result, the teeth loosen, move, and eventually disappear.
Tooth loss caused by periodontitis can have adverse effects not only on oral health but also on overall health. Studies show that periodontitis is associated with heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic diseases.
Periodontitis treatment includes cleaning the gums, improving oral hygiene and, if necessary, the use of medication. In advanced cases, surgical interventions such as gingival pocket cleaning, root surface correction (scaling), planning and placement may be required.
Prevention of gum disease is achieved by brushing teeth, flossing and having regular checkups with your dentist. Avoiding smoking, consuming a healthy diet, and avoiding stress also help prevent gum disease. Taking care of oral health plays an important role in overall health and well-being.
