Facts About Periodontal Disease (Gum Disease)
Periodontitis: Advanced stage; gums pull away from teeth, bone loss may occur, and teeth can loosen.
Causes & Risk Factors – Poor oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes, hormonal changes, certain medications, and genetic predisposition.
Symptoms – Swollen or bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, and discomfort while chewing.
Consequences if Untreated – Tooth loss, gum infection, and possible links to systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
How Deep Cleaning Helps (Scaling & Root Planing)
1. Removes Plaque and Tartar – Deep cleaning reaches below the gumline, eliminating bacteria and tartar that regular brushing can’t reach.
2. Prevents Progression – By removing irritants, it stops gum inflammation and prevents periodontitis from worsening.
3. Promotes Gum Reattachment – Smoothing the root surfaces helps gums reattach to teeth for a healthier foundation.
4. Improves Oral Health – Reduces bad breath, bleeding, and discomfort, restoring a cleaner, healthier mouth.
Maintenance – Often followed by regular check-ups and proper oral hygiene to keep gums healthy.
