An inflammation of the gum line that can affect the bone surrounding and supporting your teeth can be termed as Gum Disease. It is basically classified into three stages from least to most severe as gingivitis, periodontitis and advanced periodontitis. You may need surgery for severe gum disease (periodontitis) if it cannot be cured with antibiotics or root planing and scaling.A flap procedure cleans the roots of a tooth and repairs bone damage caused by gum disease.

Before Treatment

After Trreatment

Many people think that it’s absolutely normal if their gums are bleeding while they are brushing or flossing and don’t feel it important to undergo some gum infection treatment. This careless attitude eventually leads to the gum disease.Swollen and bleeding gums are initial stage of periodontal disease. It means that your gums are infected with bacteria. If proper treatment is not done, the infection can spread and affect the gum line severely. This can destroy the gum line and the structures that support your teeth in your jawbone. This can cause severe pain and eventually can lead to the extraction of your teeth.Gum disease is a common term used but among the dentist, this is called as Periodontal Disease. The term ‘Peri’ means around and ‘odontal’ refers to teeth.These are infections of the structures that cover the teeth.These include the gums, the cementum, the periodontal ligament and the alveolar bone. The earliest stage of periodontal disease is called as ‘Gingivitis’. At this level, the infection affects only the gums. In further stages of the disease, it affects all the supporting tissues as well.At this level, the only option left is undergoing Gum Surgery.

The Cause:

Periodontal disease is caused by bacteria or plaque. Plaque is the sticky substance that forms on your teeth.To get rid of the bacteria, immune system releases a substance that inflames and damages the gums, periodontal ligament or alveolar bone which leads to the swollen and bleeding gums. It is a sign of gingivitis or the earliest stage of periodontal disease. This can also cause the teeth to become loose leading to further severe periodontitis/advanced stage of disease.

The Preventions:

• • Practice good oral hygiene.
• • Visit your dentist regularly.
• • Brushand floss regularly, twice a day. Professional cleanings by your dentist or dental hygienist will keep plaque under control.
• • Use tartar-control toothpaste which may help slow the build-up of calculus around your teeth. Over time the plaque becomes hard and turns into calculus. This is commonly called tartar. Even more plaque attaches to calculus because it’s a rougher surface than tooth enamel.
• • Quit Smoking and Tobacco.
• • Quit the habits of grinding or clenching the teeth.
• • Try to avoid stress. Stay healthy and stay happy.
• • Maintain proper nutrition as it is important for overall good health, including a working immune system and healthy gums and mouth. Severe vitamin C deficiency (scurvy) can cause bleeding gums.
