Common Questions

Your questions about periodontal treatments answered.

Periodontal disease is an oral infection where the gingiva is inflamed, infected, and irritated. Without professional intervention, this condition can destroy a person’s oral health and overall wellbeing. Estimates show that periodontal disease affects roughly four out of five people within their lifetimes.

Since the gums become inflamed and infected, periodontal disease attacks the supportive bond between teeth and gums, and ultimately affects bone density. As the gums pull away from the teeth as a response to irritation, the roots of teeth become exposed to debris and bacteria. The roots of teeth, unlike the crowns, do not have as strong of a protective coating (like tooth enamel) and are therefore more susceptible to developing decay. Moreover, without the support of gum tissue, teeth will become loose and fall out.

In addition to affecting the health of teeth and gums, the infection associated with periodontal disease is systemic and can enter the blood stream. A wealth of research has linked periodontal disease to cardiovascular issues and diabetes.

Irritants that inflame gingival tissue cause receding gums. As a response to irritation, the gums pull away from teeth. The most common culprit behind gum recession is tartar accumulation. Tartar is the hardened form of plaque and it cannot be removed by oral hygiene practices at home. As tartar accumulates along the gums, it creates periodontal pockets. These pockets deepen as tartar builds up and it ultimately breaks down the supportive bond between the gums and teeth. Receding gums also expose the roots of teeth to oral bacteria.

Healthy gums should not bleed during normal oral function and oral hygiene. For instance, noticing blood on your dental floss or toothbrush is a sign that your gums are inflamed and irritated. If you notice that your gums are bleeding, continue brushing and flossing as normal and make an appointment for an oral checkup as soon as possible. At your checkup, your dentist or periodontist can determine if you have gum disease and its level severity.

A periodontist is a specialist who has advanced education and training to diagnose and treat issues that affect soft tissues in the oral cavity. If your dentist recommends that you see a periodontist, it is for good reason. Since a periodontist’s area of focus is on the gums and other soft tissues, he or she can provide in-depth, expert care that a general dentist cannot offer.
