Periodontal disease starts with the gums becoming red-purple and swollen — likely to bleed easily. They can be or cannot be painful. If you do nothing to treat these initial signs of gum infection, the condition may worsen in time. There are various ways in which the condition is likely to become more complicated such as;
- Your gums inflammation can be filled with pus and becoming very sensitive and sore. The periodontal ligament can break down. This ligament holds the tooth in place in its socket. If it is damaged, the tooth can lose its support and become loose. The alveolar bone can easily crack. Alveolar is the jaw bone containing the sockets of the teeth – any destruction links to it will ultimately damage the security of tooth sockets. Gums are likely to recede. Teeth become loose, and eventually fall off.
- Therefore, in case of pain or no pain, you should take gum inflammation and bleeding seriously, before it causes further dental problem..
Methods for treatment
Treatment for the condition will depend on how bad the case is. There are non-surgical, as well as surgical ones.
- Non-surgical procedures include professional thorough cleaning also known as tooth scaling and root planing. Your hygienist will remove plaque from the surface of your teeth. He deeply reaches into the root area to smooth it out or to plane it, making it harder for bacteria to stick to it.
- Surgical treatments are many. If your gums have receded from your teeth, forming pockets, this makes it easier for bacteria to breed. Your dentist can remove the bacteria, and reposition the tissue over the teeth, so that it fits more tightly, reducing or removing the deep pockets. Or he can do grafting, using gum tissue either from the palate or from somewhere perfect to swathe the exposed roots and restore the gum line.
