Periodontal treatment aims to heal the gums which are afflicted by gum disease. Gum disease can be minor and unnoticeable but has the potential to develop into a severe and debilitating problem. The reversible inflammation of the gums is easily prevented by patients. After the removal of the inflammatory product, usually plaque or calculus, this allows the gums room to heal. This is done by patients thoroughly cleaning teeth every day with a soft bristle toothbrush and an interdental aid. This can be floss, interdental brushes, or whatever is preferred by the patient. Without patient compliance and constant removal of plaque and calculus, gingivitis cannot be treated completely and can progress to irreversible periodontitis.

Reversible interaction: there is electrostatic attraction or hydrophobic interaction between microorganisms and the tooth surface. [19]

How do you find periodontal treatment?

A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease. They also help you manage signs of advancing gum problems like oral inflammation. The primary aetiological factor for periodontal disease is plaque biofilm of dental biofilm. A dental biofilm is a community of microorganisms attached to a hard, non-shedding surface. In the oral cavity, hard non-shedding surfaces include teeth, dental restorative materials and fixed or removable dental appliance such dentures. [15] It is this adherence to non-shedding surfaces that allows bacteria in a dental biofilm to have unique characteristics of clinical significance. A periodontist treats oral health issues that affect your periodontium (the tissues around your teeth). This includes your: The symptoms of gum disease include:• Bleeding gums when you brush your teeth, floss or eat hard foods like apples The best way to prevent periodontitis is to get into the habit of taking good care of your mouth and teeth. Start this routine at a young age and keep it throughout life.

Keeping your gums healthy will not only keep your smile looking good but may improve your overall health. Gum disease can increase your risk of such serious conditions as heart disease, and respiratory infections. During bone grafting, your dentist will place natural or synthetic bone in the area of the loss, which can help promote bone growth. Pregnancy: studies have shown that the oral tissues are affected and altered during pregnancy due to a decreased immune response and increased vascular blood supply and volume systemically. it is important to note that pregnancy does not cause gingival and periodontal diseases but may exacerbate the inflammatory response to a pre-existing disease. It is also important to note that pregnancy does not detract minerals from the oral tissues or teeth as previously thought and heard in old wives' tales. Existing disease often presents during pregnancy due to an altered oral environment, and not merely due to pregnancy causing disease. These effects can be prevented by good oral hygiene through toothbrushing and interdental cleaning. [34] Sanz M, et al. Treatment of stage 1-III periodontitis ⸺ The EFP S3 level clinical practice guideline. Journal of Clinical Periodontology. 2020; doi:10.1111/jcpe.13290. Plaque can cause gingivitis, the mildest form of gum disease. Gingivitis is irritation and swelling of the gum tissue around the base of your teeth. Gingiva is another word for gum tissue. Gingivitis can be reversed with professional treatment and good home oral care, but only if treated early before you have bone loss.A periodontist will assess your medical history as a starting point. Issues relating to general health are likely to affect the gums and bone structure of your mouth. Things that can come into consideration are pregnancy, diabetes, heart disease, and many other conditions. The varying nature of each individual case makes it vital for a periodontist to assess your specific needs.

A periodontist is a type of dentist who specialises in diagnosing periodontal diseases and treating them. A periodontist dentist is specifically trained to support patients with gum disease, dental implants, complicated medical history and reparation. The exact treatments that your dentist or surgeon will choose depends on the severity of the periodontal disease. Nonsurgical treatments Treatment with antibiotics may be recommended if you have a very serious infection. Antiseptic mouthwash may be recommended by a hygienist to help discourage the growth of bacteria. However, a mouthwash can't remove plaque already built up on your teeth - this must be brushed off or removed by a hygienist.Herrera D, et al. Treatment of stage IV periodontitis: The EFP S3 level clinical practice guideline. Journal of Clinical Periodontology. 2022; doi:10.1111/jcpe.13639. Gingivitis is an early stage of gum disease. It is characterised by redness, swelling and irritation of the gums. One of the common signs that you are suffering from gingivitis is bleeding gums after brushing. It can also cause gums to recede from the teeth causing plaque to collect on the exposed root surfaces of teeth. This can lead to bad breath, exacerbation of the problem, and further complications.
