Doctors argue that more than 90% of the country's adult population is affected by periodontitis. Just like the caries, this disease leads to the loss of teeth, but if the causes of caries, the danger, which he carries, and its prevention knows almost everyone, then the perodontitis know units.
Periodont consists of gums, blood vessels, connective and bone tissue. If infection gets into periodonts and inflammatory processes are beginning there, this disease is called periodontitis. If such a disease is not treated, it is sooner or later it will be pulled in periodontal disease. With periodontal disease, bone tissue is destroyed, the teeth are loosened and falling out. Unfortunately, not all patients see signs of periodontitis, many postpone the campaign to the specialist to the latter.
Perodontitis is a quiet and cunning enemy. The loss of bone tissue occurs on the background of the inflammation of the dysen. That is, the bone is gone, and the desny is swollen, externally it turns out that the neck of the roots of the teeth are closed, and at first it is not even noticeable. Moreover, often patients, finding such a sign of periodontitis, like bleeding guys, choose to engage in self-medication instead of a campaign to a specialist. When the guys begin to bleed, people decide not to injure them even more and take soft toothbrushs. In fact, this approach is erroneous. It is necessary to take the brush of the average rigidity, massage the gum to improve blood supply and remove the stagnation. And then the loss of bone tissue is suspended.
The most common signs of periodontitis are the increasing gaps between the teeth, the "pockets" between the gums and the tooth, the unpleasant smell of mouth, bleeding guise, as well as pain in chewing and cleaning teeth. Patients also misses an important point - it is necessary to regularly carry out professional cleaning from a specialist. In the West, for example, in the United States, it is even provided for by insurance - the patient is obliged to undergo such a procedure every three months. At the same time, the usual hygiene cleaning at the dentist does not replace the cleaning from the periodontolologist. Ordinary hygienic cleaning is carried out above the gum, and the periodontalist brings down under the gum, in the so-called pockets.
If you regularly visit the periodontologist, at least once every six months, you can continue to continue to live with this disease, the disease will not appear externally, you can even save your teeth. A microbial film from the teeth, which is formed even with good oral hygiene, can only take off the doctor. Many patients underestimate all the seriousness of this disease, naively believing that periodontitis is just bleeding gums, the launch of everything on a self-shot. But periodontitis leads to the loss of teeth and not only. There are much more difficult consequences of this disease.
