Periodontal Diseases

Periodontal diseases, also known as gum diseases, are a group of inflammatory conditions that affect the tissues surrounding the teeth. These diseases are amongst the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. Periodontal diseases are caused by bacteria in dental plaque, which is a sticky film that forms on the teeth. If plaque is not removed through proper oral hygiene practices such as brushing and flossing, it can harden into tartar and contribute to the development of gum disease. Symptoms of periodontal disease may include redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums, bad breath, and loosening of teeth. If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to deep infections in the gums and supporting tissues, damage to the bone that supports the teeth, and tooth loss. Oral implants are a common treatment option for individuals who have lost one or more teeth due to periodontal disease or other reasons. Implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically implanted into the jawbone, providing a stable base for dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Maintaining proper oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing regularly, can help prevent the development of periodontal diseases. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are also essential in detecting and treating gum disease in its early stages. In summary, periodontal diseases are a common problem that affects the tissues surrounding the teeth. These diseases can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Oral implants are a treatment option for individuals with missing teeth, and maintaining proper oral hygiene practices can help prevent the development of gum disease.
