A
periodontal disease is known as a dental disease affecting gum
tissues that ultimately deteriorate tissues with infection in dental
plaque. Dental patients suffered with the disease always feel an
inflammation in their gums. It is not easy to get rid of the disease
despite proper dental care and cleaning of the teeth.
Gingivitis
and periodontitis are the two common stages of a periodontal disease.
Gingivitis
or inflammation of the gum tissue is known as the first stage of the
periodontal disease showing redness, swelling and inflammation on
gums. In this stage, bacteria get active and invade the jaw tissue
making them inflamed regularly. People suffering from the disease
need to have immediate medical attention so that good oral health can
be restored effectively.
Periodontitis
is the next stage of gingivitis that not only affects the gum tissues
but also deteriorates the jaw bone badly. When reaches in advanced
stage, periodontitis destroys the jaw bone that renders support to
teeth. If not taken seriously, the next stage of the periodontal disease can force teeth to loose their natural place and get fallen.
A dental procedure called “scaling and root planning” is the
right way to treat periodontal diseases as it removes the deposition
of tartar from the surfaces of teeth.
