Gum Treatment
Periodontitis is the inflammation of the bone and gingival tissues surrounding the teeth. The teeth are composed of the crown that we can see in the mouth and the ‘root’ embedded in the bone. The roots are also attached to the bone by thin fibers. In addition, the pink gum surrounding the inner face of the jawbone adheres to the neck of the tooth. Since gingivitis will affect not only the visible gingiva but also the bone tissue, an uncontrolled gingival disease may eventually cause loosening and pulling of non-carious teeth.
What are the Symptoms of Gum Inflammation?
Gum disease can sometimes be too advanced to go undetected. However, the observation of one or more of the following symptoms brings to mind the possibility of gum disease:
- Bad breath
- Red and swollen gums
- Bad taste in mouth
- Exposure of the root of the tooth by pulling the gums
- Swinging teeth
- Teeth that bend or become crooked over time
- Gum bleeding (while brushing or spontaneously)
