Periodontal Diseases and Their Treatment

• Periodontal Care refers to taking care of gums
  and other structures surrounding the teeth. Just
  like teeth can have problem so can gums. Gum
  disease also referred as periodontics.
• Gum disease can create a lot of problems, and
  there is evidence to link gum problems to heart
  disease, diabetes, and other conditions.
• Periodontal disease is gum disease or disease
  affecting either gum, periodontal ligament. The
  word Periodontal refers to around the teeth.

Symptoms of Periodontal Disease

• Many people who suffer from periodontal disease
  are not even aware that they have this disease.
  This is because the early stages of this disease
  do not cause pain or discomfort.
• If you go for a routine dental check-up, then the
  disease can be detected at an early stage and
  promptly treated.
• Some of the symptoms that indicate you have
  periodontal disease are
• Bleeding from gums.
• Space is created between teeth, which could be
  due to bone loss.
• Teeth becoming loose (caused by bone loss).
• Bad breath that remains for a long time and is
  caused by bacterial growth.
• Gums becoming red or swollen.
• Infection in the gums, leading to pus.
• Irritation, discomfort, and tenderness in the
  gums.

Diagnosing Periodontal Disease

• Periodontal disease may be diagnosed during a
  routine check-up.
• Also, if you experience any of the symptoms
  listed above, you can meet one of the periodontal
  specialists in Longmont to get treated.
• During diagnosis, the doctor would use an
  instrument known as the periodontal probe.
• This probe is used to measure the space between
  the gums and teeth. Increased space could be an
  indicator of periodontal disease.
• The doctor would check the gums for inflammation
  and signs of disease.

Treating Periodontal Disease

• Based on the gums inflammation and signs of
  disease, the disease can be classified as one of
  the following
• Gingivitis This is the first stage of
  periodontal disease. In this stage, plaque caused
  by bacteria causes irritation to the gum. It can
  cause discomfort, bleeding, or inflammation.
• Periodontitis When the plaque becomes hard, it
  is converted to tartar. The gums would then begin
  to move away from the teeth. The pockets created
  can be infected and can develop pus.
• Advanced Periodontitis In this stage, the gums,
  the ligament, and the bone can suffer damage.
  Bone loss can develop. Without proper treatment,
  the teeth would become loose and fall off.
• Once the periodontal specialist makes the
  diagnosis, they would treat the condition
  depending on its classification. Gum disease
  treatment in Longmont provides the treatment as
  per the diagnosis.
