At present, dentistry, like many other branches of medicine, is actively developing. Today, many procedures in the dental office have become painless, and treatment is much faster and more effective than before. Unfortunately, now, as before, gum diseases are common , and, according to statistics, every seventh inhabitant of our country needs their treatment.
In dentistry, there is a separate area called periodontology. Comprehensive treatment of gums - these are measures that include various methods: surgical, therapeutic, physical, orthopedic, homeopathic and folk.
The main cause of gum disease is bacteria. Many of them accumulate in plaque. It is necessary to brush your teeth regularly to remove this film in a timely manner. Otherwise, it appears no longer soft, but a rough and porous coating - tartar.
If you find that your gum has become inflamed, treatment should be started immediately. This will make it possible to keep your teeth healthy and strong. A disease in which tartar is pressed against periodontium, resulting in inflamed gums (treatment can be quite lengthy), is called gingivitis. When it is detected, it is important to start treating the gums until the disease takes on more serious and dangerous forms.
The first signs that should alert you include bleeding, especially when brushing your teeth, pain, and halitosis. If treatment is not done on time, periodontitis may develop.
With this disease, the gum is also affected. Treatment can prevent the formation of a gingival pocket (pathological gap between the gums and the tooth), which is filled with deposits. From these pockets, pus begins to stand out over time, and then the teeth become mobile. In order not to lose them, urgent medical attention is needed.
The result of some chronic and systemic human diseases can be periodontal disease. This disease can occur against the background of diabetes, due to heredity. As a result, atrophy of the alveolar processes is manifested. The damaged gum drops significantly, the neck of the tooth is exposed.
In any case, if you find that your
gums are bleeding, the dentist should prescribe treatment. If you don’t have the opportunity to immediately see a specialist, and the bleeding is not very strong, put a bag of tea on the gum for 10 minutes. It must first be wetted. Tea is best suited for this purpose green. Well in such cases, sage helps, which is distinguished by antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory qualities.
In recent years, periodontists have successfully applied laser treatment of gums. This is a gentle procedure, it does not require anesthesia, and it affects the affected tissue with absolute accuracy. Treatment helps accelerate tissue healing and stimulates metabolism.
If you find yourself with the first signs of inflammation, do not delay your visit to the doctor so that the disease does not go too far. Although this is a rather complicated and laborious process - gum treatment, the price of such a procedure is affordable for everyone.
