Periodontal Problems or Gum Diseases

Periodontal diseases are diseases related to gums and surrounding structures, which range from simple gum inflammation to serious disease that results in major damage to the soft tissue and supporting bone, in worst cases teeth may become loose and mobile.

Causes of gum disease:

Our mouths are full of bacteria. These bacteria, along with mucus and other particles, constantly form a sticky, colourless “plaque” on teeth. Brushing and flossing help get rid of plaque. Plaque that is not removed can harden and form “tartar” that brushing doesn’t clean. If left untreated, it initially infects the gums. From here the infection spreads to the underlying bone. The gums and underlying bone form the foundation of the teeth. Once the foundation gets infected, it leads to mobility of teeth.

Risk Factors

Smoking. It is one of the most significant risk factors associated with the development of gum disease. Additionally, smoking can lower the chances for successful treatment.
Hormonal changes in girls/women. These changes can make gums more sensitive and make it easier for gingivitis to develop.
Diabetes. People with diabetes are at higher risk for developing infections, including gum disease.
Other illnesses and their treatments. Diseases such as AIDS, cancer and their treatment can also negatively affect the health of the gums.
Medications. There are hundreds of prescription and over the counter medications that can reduce the flow of saliva, which has a protective effect on the mouth. Without enough saliva, the mouth is vulnerable to infections such as gum disease. And some medicines can cause abnormal overgrowth of the gum tissue; this can make it difficult to keep teeth and gums clean.
Genetic susceptibility. Some people are more prone to severe gum disease than other.
Pregnancy. WORD of alteration in hormones, gum diseases increase.

Oral Prophylaxis (Scaling & Polishing)

Oral prophylaxis, commonly known as professional dental cleaning, is a preventive procedure aimed at maintaining optimal oral hygiene by removing plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth. Doctors at Anand Dental Clinic, emphasize the importance of regular oral prophylaxis to prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other dental issues.

What is Oral Prophylaxis? (Scaling & Root Planing)
