Gum diseases
Gum diseases are diseases that cause inflammation of the gums or the formation of inflamed gingival cavities. These manifest in two basic forms as gingivitis (inflamed gums) and periodontitis (gum disease).
Gingivitis is manifested by symptoms such as redness, swelling and bleeding of the gums and is mostly caused by a lack of oral hygiene. However, this disease can evolve into a more serious form, periodontitis, over time.
Periodontitis can cause loss of teeth as a result of inflammation of the gums and the formation of gingival cavities. In addition, gum disease can be risky to general health and is associated with chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and low birth weight.
Gum diseases can be prevented and treated with precautions such as regular oral hygiene, regular visits to the dentist, and monitoring other factors related to oral health.
How are gum diseases treated?
Gum diseases can have serious consequences if untreated. Treatment of gum disease may depend according to the severity and stages of the disease.
In general, the treatment of gum disease can be done using the following ways:
- Oral hygiene: Oral hygiene plays a primary role in the treatment of gingivitis, which is the first stage of gum disease. Oral hygiene is maintained through daily brushing, flossing and mouthwash.
- Treatment of gums: In advanced stages of gum disease, gums can be treated. This treatment may include procedures such as cleaning the gingival cavities, repairing the gingival tissue, or adding new tissue to replace the gingival tissue.
- Surgical intervention: For severe gingival diseases, surgical intervention may be required. These procedures can be done for reshaping the gum tissue, stopping gum loss or restoring gum loss.
- Medical treatment: For infections or other complications caused by gum disease, medical treatment may also be required.
Gum diseases can be prevented and treated with regular dental check-ups and regular oral hygiene.
