A pathological condition - periodontal disease - affects the periodontal disease (the circulatory tissue) and is not inflammatory. If periodontitis, which is an inflammatory process, is diagnosed on average in 90% of patients, periodontal disease is detected only in 5-8% of cases.
However, the disease of the oral cavity also requires the timely detection and elimination.
Why does periodontal disease appear and how does it manifest itself?
Periodontal disease affects the tissues that are adjacent to the teeth, and manifests itself in the form of the following symptoms:
- the neck of the tooth becomes bare as the gum tissues become thinner;
- a dense tartar appears;
- there is discomfort and itching in the gum area;
- the presence of an unpleasant smell from the oral cavity;
- the surface of the teeth reacts to cold and acid.
Since the disease is not accompanied by inflammation, there are no bleeding gums and suppurations, but with a decrease in immunity, other pathological processes in the affected areas are possible.
Parodontosis has a slow development and is asymptomatic in the primary stages. There are 3 stages of the disease:
- Stage I - with no obvious signs, but pathological changes occur in the tissues;
- Stage II - the displacement of the tooth row, the cervix shines through the gum tissue, gaps between the teeth are formed; external irritants cause pain and discomfort in the teeth;
- Stage III - the fixation of the teeth is violated, they start to stagger and fall out; before this stage, periodontal disease develops in 1-1.5 decades.
Early diagnosis and treatment is able to correct the pathology painlessly and in a short time.
The development of the disease contribute to the following phenomena:
- lack of fresh vegetables and fruits in the diet, which leads to a deficiency of certain elements;
- improper or inadequate care of the oral cavity, which causes the formation of tartar;
- smoking that violates blood circulation in the gum tissue;
- reduced immunity;
- malformed bite;
- hereditary disposition;
- chronic diseases of blood vessels, thyroid gland, bones;
- dental manipulations carried out with violations.
Exposure of the dental cervix is the first "bell" of the development of the pathological process. Should seek medical attention.
