What is it<\/strong>?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Periodontal \/ Gum Disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s typically caused by poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque to build up on the teeth and harden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which are the signs \/ symptoms of Periodontal \/ Gum D<\/strong>isease?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bleeding gums<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bad breath<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bad taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red or swollen gums<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loose teeth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Receding gums<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Difference between Gingivitis and Periodontitis:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gingivitis<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Is the redness, swelling and inflammation that appears when plaque is not properly removed from around the tooth, as a consecuence, the gums appear puffy and bleed when brushed or flossed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effective brushing and cleaning, will remove the plaque, and with this, the swelling and redness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to say that does not cause<\/em> the loss of gum support or bone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Periodontitis<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Periodontitis<\/em> is a much more aggressive reaction than gingivitis, and causes the breakdown and loss of surrounding bone and gum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the inflammation progresses and tissue destruction proceeds without treatment, the tooth may become loose and eventually be lost.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is susceptible to suffer this Periodontal \/<\/strong> Gum D<\/strong>isease?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Periodontitis can be inherited and the condition can run in families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This destructive reaction to plaque is influenced by the body\u2019s immune response, which fights the bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is far more common and more destructive in smokers. Also, diabetes will exaggerate the destructive response to plaque. Other conditions include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pregnancy hormones<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stress<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some medications<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there any good news?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes! Periodontal Disease can be cure, by removing the bacteria deposits and maintaining the gums clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will eliminate the gum reaction and as a result, the destructive inflammation controlled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the tooth surface is clean and free of plaque, the gums will be healthy and non-swollen again<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will tailor the specific treatment for your case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
