Periodontal treatment, deep cleaning, is an absolute necessity for a healthy mouth. When gingivitis is not treated, it can advance to “periodontitis” (which means “inflammation around the tooth”). In periodontitis, gums pull away from the teeth and form “pockets” that are infected. The body’s immune system fights the bacteria as the plaque spreads and grows below the gum line. Bacterial toxins and the body’s enzymes fighting the infection actually start to break down the bone and connective tissue that hold teeth in place. If not treated, the bones, gums, and connective tissue that support the teeth are destroyed. The teeth may eventually become loose and have to be removed.

Here are some things you can do to prevent periodontal diseases:

  • Brush your teeth twice a day
  • Floss every day
  • Visit the dentist routinely for a check-up and professional cleaning
  • Eat a well-balanced diet
  • Don’t use tobacco products

How do I Know if I Have Periodontal Disease? Symptoms are often not noticeable until the disease is advanced. They include:

  • Bad breath that won’t go away
  • Red or swollen gums
  • Tender or bleeding gums
  • Painful chewing
  • Loose teeth Sensitive teeth

Any of these symptoms may signal a serious problem, which should be checked by a dentist.
