Everybody wants to have a beautiful white smile and healthy strong teeth. And to keep it as long as possible. But healthy teeth are impossible without healthy gums. Therefore I propose to talk about periodontitis.
What is it? How does it occur? What is prevention? How to deal with it?
According to statistics, in Russia, the percentage of oral diseases is significantly higher than in Europe and the USA. And all this due to lack of oral hygiene. Many still believe that the earlier people did not clean his teeth, and they remained healthy until the end of life. This is one of the most common myths.
During all periods of human history, healthy teeth and gums are directly associated with oral hygiene. It was she who in ancient times was the main means of prevention of dental diseases. Reference to the care of teeth and the appropriate means occurs already in the written records of ancient Egypt, where they cook the world's first dental powders.
Periodontitis is a major cause of tooth loss in people over 35 years. 90% of adults suffer from gum disease. And since the early stages is not accompanied by pain, many people do not seek help to the dentist.
Bleeding gums, tartar, loosening of teeth, bad breath, sore gums, the allocation between the teeth. At least one of these symptoms are familiar to every one of us is not hearsay. And around again to blame for the microbes that form dental plaque. And if you have at least one of the above symptoms, you should consult your dentist.
The initial stage of gum disease is gingivitis - inflammation and bleeding gums. At this stage of the disease is reversible.
