Based on their\ndata, about 80 percent of adults in the United States has some degree of gum\ndisease. Unfortunately, many people don\u2019t even realize they have gum disease\nuntil a dentist tells them or once they start to notice more significant\nsymptoms. This is often why gum disease is regularly referred to as the \u201csilent\nkiller\u201d in the healthcare field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, there is a way to get treated for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentalimplantsindfw.com\/dental-checkups-and-cleanings.html\">gum\ndisease in Colleyville.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Types of Gum Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gum disease comes in stages with two main classifications:\ngingivitis and periodontitis. Both are caused by built-up plaque on the teeth\nand gums. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gingivitis is the mildest form of gum disease and is mainly characterized\nby red tender gums and minor bleeding while brushing and flossing. In most\ncases, reversing gingivitis is as simple as improving your oral care routine\nand visiting a dentist for a professional cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, periodontitis is a far more serious form of gum\ndisease that can come in mild, moderate and severe stages. This form of gum\ndisease is characterized by swelling, bleeding, pain while chewing, looseness\nin teeth, receding gums, chronic bad breath and teeth sensitivity. A discharge\nof puss from the gums is also a common symptom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Risks of Untreated Gum Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When gingivitis is untreated, it can quickly develop into\nperiodontitis, which is an irreversible condition. As your gum disease worsens,\npockets begin to form in between your teeth, creating more room for food debris\nand plaque to develop. These pockets also make it easier for bacteria to eat\naway at the jaw bone and bone tissue holding teeth in place. As the gums begin\nto pull away from teeth, the tooth roots become exposed. Tooth roots are far\nmore vulnerable to decay than tooth enamel because they lack the many layers of\nenamel that teeth carry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a reason why gum disease is the leading cause of tooth\nloss in adults. Without treatment, you\u2019ll need to start thinking about\nexpensive tooth replacement options from a dentist. However, seeking treatment\nwill put you on the right path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment Options to Consider<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you visit a dentist, you\u2019re able to get more than just\na periodontal examination to confirm the health of your gums. You can also\nreceive professional gum disease therapy designed to improve the condition of\nyour gums, including scaling and root planing. These deep cleanings are\ndesigned to remove plaque and calculus (calcified plaque only removable by a\ndentist) and promote regrowth of gum tissue to teeth. You can also take\nadvantage of antibacterial treatments which reduce the risk of future\ninfections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a few appointments, your gum health will be back on\ntrack and your teeth will be at much lower risk of being lost due to infection.\nSchedule an appointment with a dentist in Colleyville today to get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentalimplantsindfw.com\/dr-stephen-branberg.html\">Dr.\nSteven Branberg<\/a> earned his DDS degree from the University of Southern California\nSchool of Dentistry.
