Gum Treatments
Periodontal (Gum) disease is an infection of the tissues supporting and surrounding the teeth. It is mainly caused by the accumulation of bacteria from the dental plaque that inflames and damages the gums. This chronic infection attacks below the gum line where it breaks down the attachment of the tooth and its supporting tissues.
Factors of gum disease:
Several factors increase the risk of developing gum diseases, the most common of which include tobacco smoking and chewing, systemic illnesses like diabetes or cancer, hormonal changes during pregnancy or menstruation, medications such as contraceptives. Regular dental check-ups and examinations are important because it is possible to have gum infections without the usual signs and symptoms. They may advance painlessly, exhibiting few evident signs even in the late phase of the disease. This explains the increased risk of losing one’s teeth. We at Al Shamil medical centre are treating well with all these sufferings.
Types of gum diseases:
Gum diseases are classified according to the severity of the infection. These are traditionally divided into two stages: Gingivitis (common infection that begins with the bacterial accumulation in the mouth) and periodontitis (advanced stage of gingivitis where the severe infection erodes the supporting structures of the teeth).
