**perio dental** =========================================

What is this disease? What are its signs and symptoms, methods of prevention and treatment?

**What is meant by periodontal disease (gum disease)?**

Dental periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a serious infection of the gums that damages the soft tissue. If left untreated, it will cause the tooth to loosen and eventually fall out. This disease can be prevented to a large extent by taking care of oral and dental hygiene. Brushing your teeth twice a day, using dental floss and doing medical examinations can help treat periodontal disease. It can also reduce its incidence.

### **symptoms**

This disease includes many symptoms such as swelling of the gums, changing the color of the gums to bright red, dark red or purple, gums that are sensitive when you touch them, pus between the teeth and gums, loose teeth or falling out, chewing with pain, creating new spaces between the teeth and feeling the teeth move when biting.

### **complications**

The bacteria responsible for this disease can enter your bloodstream through the gum tissue and possibly affect other parts of your body. This disease is associated with respiratory diseases, coronary artery disease and blood sugar control problems in diabetes.

Dental periodontal disease in most cases starts with plaque, which is a sticky membrane and is mainly composed of bacteria. In the following, we will mention how to convert plaque into dental pulp:

##### **creating plaque**

When the starches and sugars in food combine with the bacteria normally found in your mouth, plaque forms on your teeth. Dental plaque is removed by brushing twice a day and flossing once a day.

If plaque stays on your teeth, it can harden under your gum line and turn into plaque. Dental plaque is difficult to remove and full of bacteria. The longer plaque remains on your teeth, the more damage it can cause. You cannot get rid of dental plaque with a toothbrush and dental floss.

Plaque can lead to gum disease in a milder form. Gingivitis can be treated with professional treatment and good oral care at home. Persistent gum inflammation can cause periodontal disease and eventually cause pockets between your gums and teeth to fill with plaque, tartar, and bacteria. If left untreated, these deep infections can cause tissue and bone loss. Finally, you may lose one or more teeth.

The best way to prevent periodontal disease is to follow a good dental hygiene program. Try to brush twice a day and floss once a day. Visit the dentist every six to 12 months for a check-up.

#### **Gum disease treatment methods**

The goal of dental perio treatment is to completely clean the pockets around the tooth and prevent damage to the surrounding bone. If it has not progressed yet, it is possible to remove dental plaque and bacteria from the surfaces of the teeth and under the gum. If the rate of progress is high, you may need dental surgery or in some cases denervation of the tooth.

If you have symptoms such as swollen gums, changing the color of the gums to bright red, etc. We must tell you to go for treatment before reaching more advanced stages.
