Currently, dentistry, like many other branches of medicine, is actively developing. Today, many procedures in the dental office have become painless, and the treatment is much faster and more effective than before. Unfortunately, now, just as before, gum disease is common, and, according to statistics, every seventh inhabitant of our country needs their treatment.
In dentistry, there is a separate area called periodontology. Comprehensive gum treatment is an activity that includes various methods: surgical, therapeutic, physical, orthopedic, homeopathic and folk.
Bacteria are the main cause of gum disease. Many of them accumulate in dental plaque. It is necessary to brush your teeth regularly to remove this film in a timely manner. Otherwise, it is no longer soft, but rough and porous plaque - tartar.
If you find that you have inflamedgum, treatment should be started immediately. This will keep your teeth he althy and strong. A disease in which tartar presses on the periodontium, resulting in inflammation of the gums (treatment can be quite lengthy) is called gingivitis. When it is detected, it is important to start treating the gums until the disease has taken on more serious and dangerous forms.
First signs to watch out for include bleeding, especially when brushing your teeth, pain and bad breath. If timely treatment is not carried out, periodontitis may develop.
This disease also affects the gums. Treatment can prevent the formation of a periodontal pocket (an abnormal gap between the gum and the tooth) that fills with deposits. From these pockets, pus begins to stand out over time, and then mobile teeth become. Immediate medical attention is needed to avoid losing them.
Some chronic and systemic human diseases can result in periodontal disease. This disease can occur against the background of diabetes mellitus, due to heredity. The result is atrophy of the alveolar processes. The damaged gum drops significantly, the neck of the tooth is exposed.
In any case, if you find that your gums are bleeding, you should be treated by a dentist. If you do not have the opportunity to urgently see a specialist, and the bleeding is not very strong, put a tea bag on the gum for 10 minutes. Preit needs to be soaked. Green tea is most suitable for this purpose. Good in such cases, sage helps, which has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory qualities.
In recent years, periodontists have successfully used laser gum treatment. This is a sparing procedure, it does not require anesthesia, while it acts on the affected tissues with absolute precision. The treatment accelerates tissue healing and stimulates metabolism.
If you find the first signs of inflammation in yourself, do not postpone your visit to the doctor so that the disease does not go too far. Although this is a rather complicated and time-consuming process - gum treatment, the price of such a procedure is affordable for everyone.
