Q

Periodontal Disease

A

It is a disease that affects the structures in the mouth that support the teeth and are around the teeth like gums
It’s sometimes called “gum disease”, but involves bone and other tissues too.
-disease is chronic (persists over time)
-treatment can limit damage
-“Silent disease”

CAUSES
Smoking
Poor oral hygiene (no brushing or flossing)
Diabetes (especially uncontrolled)
Stress, teeth grinding, or bite problems
Hormone changes (during pregnancy)
Weakened immune system
Having a close family member with disease
Taking certain medications

TREATMENT
Special dental cleanings, medications and surgery are some treatments
The sooner you’re treated, the better; can reverse some or all of damage without surgery
If more advanced, surgery is the answer
Maintenance after is important- upkeep, dental care, check ups

HOW DOES IT DEVELOP?
Disease starts when plaque turns into tartar and bacteria under the gumline, leading into infection
As body fights the infection, gums become inflammed, pockets form between tooth and gum, making plaque harder to remove
Bone damage occurs and can lead to tooth loss

33
Q

3 STAGES OF PERIODONTAL DISEASE

A
  1. GINGIVITIS- mildest form, gums inflammed, red, and bleed when probed
  2. PERIODONTITIS- infection spreads to bone, ligaments break down, gums recede
    -redness, swelling and bleeding worsen; pockets deepen, bone is destroyed and tooth loosens
  3. ADVANCED PERIODONTITIS- pockets deepen even more and fill with pus; teeth are sensitive to hot and cold, hurt when brushed; teeth may have to be removed
