Periodontal Treatment in Dubai

Since we put a lot of foreign matter into our mouths in the form of food, the mouth tends to harbor a lot of bacteria. These bacteria, when come in contact with our oral fluids, form plaque on the teeth, which can be removed through flossing, and teeth brushing. When plaque is not taken care of, it hardens into tartar, which carries a lot of bacteria and can only be removed by a dentist through professional cleaning. If your teeth continue to harbor the hardened bacteria, they invite a host of gum diseases also known as periodontal diseases. Such types of diseases can be treated through a special gum disease treatment in Dubai also known as periodontal treatment.

What are Periodontal diseases?

Periodontal diseases are ailments confined only to the gum. They range from minor inflammations of the gum to serious diseases that can lead to damaged soft tissues and eventually loss of teeth and bone. Gum diseases often develop slowly without causing any pain. Sometimes, you don’t experience any symptoms until the disease has spread to the bone.

Types of Periodontal Diseases

There are three stages of periodontal diseases and they range from the least severe to the most severe.

• Gingivitis: When the bacteria stays on your teeth for long, it causes a disease known as gingivitis, which is the inflammation of gums. When you have gingivitis, your gums start bleeding, become swollen, and turn red. This disease can be easily reversed by reverting to stringent dental hygiene like brushing, flossing, and the usual dental cleaning by the dentist. Since gingivitis is mild, it doesn’t lead to any loss of teeth or jaw tissues.
• Periodontitis: If you decide to leave gingivitis untreated, it can lead to Periodontitis which refers to the tissue inflammation surrounding the tooth. This disease is not as mild as gingivitis because it causes the gums to pull away from the teeth, leaving pockets that host bacteria leading to infection.
• Advanced Periodontitis: When Periodontitis is not treated, the plaque develops below the gum line which leads to the breakdown of connective tissues. If you don’t go to the dentist for treatment, the connective tissues including the bone and gums are destroyed, and you end up losing your teeth.

Causes of Periodontal Diseases 

• Hormonal changes: If you are male, you do not have to worry about this. When hormones change among females during pregnancy or puberty, some of the women tend to have sensitive gums, which can easily become a breeding ground for gingivitis.
• Smoking: If smoking has not caused any type of cancer in you, it might give you some sort of gum disease. Actually, it is the biggest cause of periodontal diseases according to research.
• Certain medications: Certain medicines that may affect the flow of saliva can lead to gum diseases. Just in case you did not know, saliva protects our teeth and gums.
• Diabetes: People who suffer from diabetes are more prone to infections, which include gum diseases.
• Mental stress: When we are mentally stressed, our bodies find it difficult to fight infections, leaving us vulnerable to infections, including but not limited to gum diseases.
