If you have bleeding gums, and when they themselves become pale, the sensitivity of the teeth to hot and cold increases, and your teeth begin to stagger, you get bad breath, then this is most likely periodontal disease. This disease belongs to the group of hidden and for a long time does not manifest itself. When the above symptoms appear, this is, as a rule, an active and advanced stage of the process. At this stage, it is necessary to visit a doctor of narrow specialization - a periodontist, so that he prescribes the appropriate treatment. Periodontal disease is based on degenerative changes and a decrease in the alveolar bone, the processes of which surround the tooth and are, as it were, its support. In turn, these changes can cause a number of reasons that are not directly related to the teeth.
