Treatment of a periodontitis

According to statistics, periodontitis affects the teeth more often than other diseases. This disease occurs in the soft tissues of the gums, destroys the supporting tissues of the dentition and in the later stages leads to the loss of teeth. Treatment of periodontitis in the Astra Dent dental network is the best way to save teeth, and most importantly, to do it painlessly and inexpensively. We offer modern methods of treatment, we use reliable equipment and guarantee the effectiveness of the procedures.

Symptoms of periodontitis

Determining periodontitis is not easy – you can do it yourself only in the later stages of the disease. The fact is that the initial symptoms of periodontitis are hardly noticeable, and most people do not attach importance to them, and irregular visits to the dentist do not allow the doctor to make a diagnosis on time.

Periodontitis has three stages, each of which can be diagnosed by external manifestations:

• The first stage, called gingivitis. It is characterized by weak bleeding from the gums under mechanical stress. The danger of periodontal disease at this stage is that bleeding occurs when you brush your teeth or eat solid foods and are perceived as a result of gum damage. If such situations occur regularly, it is recommended that you contact your dentist as soon as possible.
• Second stage Changes in the structure of the gums are visible to the naked eye – they become loose, become painful and, moreover, decrease in volume. The latter is called the omission of the gums, in which an additional part of the teeth is exposed, they become visually larger, and the interdental spaces significantly increase. In addition, the bleeding of the gums increases, appearing both during the meal and spontaneously. The extreme symptom of the second stage is an unpleasant putrid breath, which cannot be eliminated.
• The third stage. In this situation, the gums sink, even more, pus is added to the bleeding, and the unpleasant smell increases. The most unpleasant signs are the precariousness of the dentition and discomfort when taking any food.

To notice the signs of the appearance of periodontitis is quite simple already in its second stage. Unfortunately, the treatment of even an unused form will take a lot of time and will require regular visits to the dental clinic. Therefore, the doctors of Astra Dent recommend paying attention to bleeding gums as soon as they appear and to come to the reception for diagnosis and timely treatment of periodontitis, until the disease has passed into a more dangerous stage.

Causes

Periodontitis occurs as a result of several negative processes taking place in the oral cavity. By the way, these processes can accompany each other, increasing the likelihood of periodontitis and accelerating its development.

The causes of the disease are:

• Tartar It turns ordinary plaque, which over time mineralized, hardening. This happens when teeth care is not regular or not done at all, including taking into account professional oral hygiene.
• Poor blood supply to the gums. Such an effect can be either congenital, characterized by a poor state of the vessels, or acquired. The weakness of blood vessels usually affects smokers who are adversely affected by tobacco smoke.
• Lack of vitamins. The most severe effect of insufficient amounts of vitamin groups A, B and C.
