A bacterial infection caused by plaque that attacks the gums, bone, and ligaments commonly known as Gum Disease. The early stage is known as gingivitis, the advanced stage as periodontitis.
In our modern society half of all adults have some signs of gingivitis. people with poor oral hygiene; those with a systemic disease, such as diabetes, that lowers resistance to infection; and smokers are in more risk. Women also have a tendency to develop gingivitis during pregnancy. Other risk factors are stress, which weakens the immune system, and genes. “Some people can have gingivitis all their lives and never progress to periodontitis,” It depends on a person’s susceptibility to the disease.”
As the old tale tells prevention is better than cure consult Dr.nechupadam Dental, Marine Drive all the six months time, and inform us weather your gums feel tender or bleed. Gingivitis can be reversed with regular brushing and flossing. To combat periodontitis, our periodontist may perform a deep cleaning around the teeth and below the gum lines and prescribe medication to combat the infection. If the disease has progressed to affect your gums and bone, may us suggest surgery, such as a gum graft.
