What is periodontitis?
Periodontitis is a serious gum infection that affects the tissues supporting the teeth. The periodontium is the system made up of gums, ligaments, and bone that hold the teeth in place. When infected, these tissues can gradually deteriorate, leading to tooth loosening and even loss if left untreated.
Beyond oral health, untreated periodontitis has been associated with other health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and complications during pregnancy.
Recognizing the symptoms of periodontitis
Periodontitis often begins with mild symptoms that can be easily overlooked, such as:
- Bleeding or swelling of the gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums or loose teeth
- Sensitivity to cold
- Food stuck between teeth
- Redness and sensitivity of the gums
- Pus or gum discharge
Who is at risk?
This infection affects a large part of the population, but certain groups are at higher risk, including:
- People with a family history of gum disease
- Smokers
- People with chronic illnesses such as diabetes
- People experiencing high levels of stress or depression
- People with poor oral hygiene or multiple cavities
How is periodontitis treated?
If you notice any symptoms, it is important to see your dentist promptly. We use X-rays and specialized tests to diagnose gum infections.
Treatment often involves a professional deep cleaning to remove tartar and bacteria below the gum line, promoting healing and preventing further damage.
Early intervention can protect your gums and teeth while improving your overall health. Don't wait for the problem to worsen. Schedule an appointment with our dental team at REMA Dentists and take the necessary steps for your gum health.
