Gum Treatment
Although gum disease can begin in childhood, chronic peritonitis typically affects adults only.
WHO CAN SUFFER FROM GUM DISEASE?
- You may only have gum disease in one area of your mouth because crooked teeth are harder to keep clean.
- Different types of bacteria live in each person’s mouth. This could explain why some people’s gum disease can worsen very quickly while others don’t.
- Gum disease can get worse if you smoke and consume large amounts of alcohol. Both have connections to mouth cancer.
- Your dentist will inquire about your general health because drugs and medications can have an impact on your gums.
- Diabetes and a few other conditions can make bones and gums less resilient to damage.
WHY SHOULD I IMPLEMENT PREVENTIVE MEASURES?
No matter how strong and healthy your teeth are, they need to be supported by bone and healthy gums. You may develop periodontal disease, which could result in tooth loss and all the associated eating and speaking challenges.
Recently, researchers have found a connection between periodontal disease and coronary heart disease and stroke, particularly in those who are already at high risk for these conditions (through poor diet, smoking or high blood pressure).
WHY I MIGHT NEED A GUM OPERATION
Through the use of cutting-edge methods and top-notch materials, it is now possible to regenerate both soft (gum) and hard (bone) tissues in the mouth. In the past, there wasn’t much that could be done to reverse conditions like bone loss or receding gums in patients. However, we can now use a variety of methods to regrow soft tissues like bone.
Periodontal (gum) disease is primarily to blame for bone loss and receding gums. Periodontal disease is brought on by a variety of factors, including stress, genetics, pregnancy, puberty, medications, diabetes, teeth-clenching or -grinding, and poor nutrition. Individual areas of abrasion from overly vigorous toothbrush use can also cause receding gums.
