Periodontal Disease: Causes, Symptoms, Treatments, And DIY Personal Care Products

By Kimberly Myers


As people get older their immune system is degraded. This makes them be prone to various illnesses including dental problems. In addition to a good charge routine, checks up and regular dental treatments with some DIY personal care products are essential.

Bacterial plaque and tartar easily build up on teeth if proper treatment routines and cleaning are not followed. If these are left untreated, they eventually damage the support structures and jawbone that leads to tooth loss. This type of disease is known as the periodontal disease. It is commonly known as the gum disease.

Bacteria multiply more quickly in warm and humid places. This makes the mouth a perfect place for it to breed. Practicing good care routine like brushing teeth or flossing are the ways used to remove the bacteria and prevent the building up of tartar.

Visiting the dentist on a regular basis to get cleaned up reduces many dental conditions. Periodontal disease can develop into gingivitis if left untreated. At this stage, the gums would be bleeding, swollen and you will be having difficulties when chewing. However, there would still be a chance of recovery at this stage if proper care routine is immediately done and maintained.

When teeth start falling out, the gingivitis condition would have developed into periodontite. At this stage, the area around the tooth is inflamed and retrieves away from the tooth surface. The gap created is called the pockets and that is where excessive bacteria multiply further. The body starts fighting back the excessive bacteria building in the pockets. Instead of the condition to subside, it becomes worse as the tooth support structure together with jawbones start getting damaged. This damage is caused by the reaction between the bad bacterium and the good bacteria produced by the immune system.

Gum disease is caused by a number of factors. Often, it is caused by smoking. In the event that smoking is the primary cause; chances of successful treatment are very low. In girls and women, it is usually caused by the change of hormones. Hormonal changes are known to make gums more sensitive and easier for gingivitis to develop. Other illnesses and their treatments affect the health of gums. These may include AIDS, Cancer and Diabetes.

Medication also causes gum inflammations. This happens in two ways. Firstly, medication promotes overgrowth of gum tissue. This excessive gum tissue tends to get stuck on molars and incisors if good charge routine is not practiced. If left for a long time, it starts to build up into plaque and tartar. Also, some medication side effects include dry mouth. In this case, there will not be enough saliva to help protect the mouth from potential bacterial infections.

It is recommended that you visit a dentist should you feel symptoms of oral disease. The signs and symptoms include bad breath, red swollen gums tender and bleeding gums, loose molars and incisors, painful chewing, elusive gums or big appearing fangs. Having regular dentist visits and proper good treatment routine will help control the symptoms and eventually have healthy gums.
