What Is And How Periodontitis Develops?

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the soft tissues around the tooth, which may even lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Periodontal diseases are one of the most widespread diseases in the world, affecting 7 out of 10 adults. There are many types of periodontal diseases, but most of them are caused by bacterial mass (bioapk) accumulated in the oral cavity. Such harmful pathogenic bacteria cause an inflammatory process, followed by grinding of the teeth into the jawbone, bone loss and eventually loss of healthy teeth. As a result of the accumulation of bacteria, gingivitis develops, that is, inflammation of the gums. If the patient was not treated properly, the bacteria penetrates into the deeper layers on the surface of the tooth root and develops periodontal disease. In addition to plaque, risk factors for periodontitis can be:

• Reduced immunity;
• genetic factor;
• Frequent tobacco use;
• side effects of drug treatment;
• Stress and malnutrition.

As for the symptoms of periodontitis, they are quite diverse, the disease can be asymptomatic, but it is mainly manifested in bleeding from the gums, swelling and suppuration of the gums. The symptoms of periodontitis are overgrowth of gums, bad smell and taste. If the inflammatory process continues for a long time, it can lead to bone loss, which in turn leads to shifting and shifting of teeth and eventually loss. Along with this, periodontitis is characterized by visual and hygienic discomfort, which means significantly increased red gums and an unpleasant smell in the mouth (medical term - halitosis). Bleeding gums are often not perceived by patients as a serious oral problem and are blamed on a rough toothbrush. Ignoring even minor bleeding from the gums can lead to serious consequences. The development of inflammatory diseases - gingivitis and periodontitis - of the soft and hard tissues around the teeth of the mouth starts from the gums and finally it involves the entire soft tissue around the tooth.

During gingivitis, the patient may notice only slight redness of the gums, slight bleeding and a specific unpleasant taste. In most cases, this stage of the disease is painless for patients, but remember that gingivitis is the first stage of the development of periodontal disease, and treatment of the disease at this stage is the easiest and most effective. "Blits Dental - Kakhaber Kharebava Clinic" warns you, without proper treatment, gingivitis will develop into periodontitis - when the inflammatory process has already spread to the bone.
