Gingival Disease

Periodontics, commonly known as gum disease, encompasses its diagnosis and treatment. The initial stage, gingivitis, manifests with slightly red, bleeding, and swollen gums. Treatment involves removing plaque and tartar from the teeth, ensuring a clean root surface, and maintaining effective daily oral hygiene. This process eliminates bacteria and irritants responsible for gum inflammation.

In advanced stages, gum disease is managed through procedures like scaling and root planing, or flap surgery if necessary. The goal is to clean the teeth deeply within periodontal pockets, reduce pocket depth, and smooth root surfaces.

Causes

Plaque, a colorless sticky film primarily comprised of bacteria, accumulates on teeth after consuming starches and sugars. It must be removed daily as it forms quickly.
Over time, plaque hardens into tartar, or calculus, particularly under the gumline. Tartar harbors bacteria, making plaque removal more difficult and irritating the gumline. Professional dental cleaning is necessary to remove tartar.
As plaque and tartar persist, they increasingly irritate the gum tissue, leading to inflammation and swelling. This condition, known as gingivitis, is characterized by easily bleeding gums. Left untreated, gingivitis can progress to tooth decay, periodontitis, and eventual tooth loss.

What Is Dental Pink Aesthetic ?

The cosmetic procedures performed on the gums are often referred to as pink aesthetic treatments. These treatments focus on enhancing the overall appearance of the gums. Key elements that contribute to the aesthetic appeal of the gums include their health, color, and the level of the gingiva.

Risk factors

Gingivitis is a common condition that can develop in anyone, but certain factors can increase your risk, including:

Poor oral hygiene habits.
Smoking or using tobacco products.
Advancing age.
Dry mouth.
Inadequate nutrition, including insufficient intake of vitamin C.
Dental repairs that do not fit properly or are in poor condition, such as fillings, bridges, dental implants, or veneers.
Crooked teeth that are difficult to clean properly.

Complications

If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to a more severe condition known as gum disease or periodontitis. This advanced stage affects the underlying tissue and bone supporting the teeth, potentially resulting in tooth loss.

Persistent gum disease may also be associated with systemic diseases affecting the entire body, including respiratory disease, diabetes, coronary artery disease, stroke, and rheumatoid arthritis. Some studies suggest that the bacteria responsible for periodontitis can enter the bloodstream through gum tissue, potentially impacting other organs such as the heart and lungs. However, further research is needed to confirm this link.

Prevention

To prevent gingivitis:

Maintain optimal oral hygiene: Brush your teeth for two minutes at least twice daily — once in the morning and once before bed — and floss at least once a day. Ideally, brush after every meal or snack, or as advised by your dentist. Flossing before brushing helps remove loosened food particles and bacteria.
Regularly visit your dentist: Schedule regular appointments with your dentist or dental hygienist for cleanings, typically every 6 to 12 months. If you have risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing periodontitis, such as dry mouth, certain medications, or smoking, you may require more frequent professional cleanings. Annual dental X-rays can aid in identifying underlying conditions not visible during a visual dental examination and monitor changes in your dental health.
Embrace a healthy lifestyle: Adopting healthy habits like nutritious eating and managing blood sugar levels, especially if you have diabetes, plays a crucial role in supporting gum health.
