Periodontitis
Periodontal disease
Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disease of the organs surrounding the tooth, including the gums, periodontal ligament, tooth root enamel, and tooth socket bone. If it is not treated, these organs will slowly be destroyed every day until eventually the teeth will be lost. This disease is called phimosis in the local language. It is more severe than gingivitis. The symptoms indicating periodontal disease are as follows:
- Bleeding gums while brushing your teeth.
- Red, swollen gums.
- Bad breath.
- Receding gums.
- There may be pus coming out along the gum line.
- Tooth loosenin.
Cause caused by bacteria embedded in food stains and tartar, plastered on the root surface of the tooth close to the gums for a long time.
Treatment of periodontitis is to eliminate the plaque that causes this disease as well as eliminate the habitat of bacteria. By scaling and scaling the roots of the teeth both above and below the gum line. To allow the body to repair worn-out parts. But the cause of this disease comes back and accumulates every day when we eat food. Therefore, disease prevention is to keep your mouth clean every day by brushing your teeth and using dental floss or interdental brushes correctly and regularly.
Protection gingivitis is a disease that patients can prevent and treat on their own. Just clean your mouth and teeth properly. Do not allow it to accumulate until it turns into limestone. Until you can’t brush it out by yourself. Just like this, not only will you be free from gingivitis. You can also be free from tooth decay problems.
