The Importance of Periodontal Health
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Periodontal (gum) health is crucial for maintaining the stability and integrity of your teeth. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bone deterioration, and other serious health issues. Regular periodontal care is essential for preventing and managing gum disease and ensuring the longevity of your smile.
Signs and Stages of Gum Disease
Gum disease progresses in stages, each with its own set of signs and symptoms. Early detection and treatment are key to preventing the progression of the disease.
- Gingivitis: The earliest stage of gum disease, characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums. Gingivitis is reversible with proper oral hygiene and professional care.
- Periodontitis: If gingivitis is left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis. This stage involves the formation of pockets between the teeth and gums, where bacteria accumulate and cause further inflammation and damage. Periodontitis can lead to gum recession and bone loss.
- Advanced Periodontitis: In the advanced stage, the supporting structures of the teeth, including the bone, are severely damaged. This can result in tooth mobility and loss.
