  1. HOW DOES PERIODONTAL DISEASE CAUSE OTHER DENTAL ISSUES?

  2. Many people neglect proper dental care like regular tooth brushing & flossing.

  3. This Can lead to periodontitis or periodontal disease.

  4. This is an infection of the gum tissue & is caused by plaque buildup.

  5. It is usually preceded by gingivitis which is inflammation of the gum tissue.

  6. Here are the ways periodontal disease leads to other dental issues.

  7. As per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), gum disease is common.

  8. Pay attention to your teeth to notice these signs of periodontal disease.

  9. Gingivitis is the mildest form of periodontal disease & preventive measures need to be taken.

  10. The gum tissue around your teeth must be firm & pink, not plump and red.

  11. The bacteria  that cause periodontal disease also lead to foul smelling breath.

  12. If you struggle with this even after brushing, it’s likely that you don’t floss enough.

  13. This signifies that harmful bacteria are still living in your mouth.

  14. In early periodontal disease, your gums will likely bleed easily when you brush.

  15. Gum tissue begins to shrink away from the bone as gingivitis progresses into periodontitis.

  16. This is an indication of gum disease & creates gaps between your teeth and gums, leading to tooth loss.

  17. It happens when plaque accumulates on your teeth near the gums & hardens, creating a bacterial biofilm.

  18. This is what leads to more dental issues that can be very harmful to your health.

  19. This can lead to serious infections that cause tooth rot and bad breath.

  20. At its worse, it can lead to necrosis, decay & death of gum tissue.

  21. It is important to maintain  good oral health by following a consistent routine.

  22. Smoking, tobacco chewing & certain medications make you prone to gum disease.

  23. Regular treatment by a dental health professional is required for hormonal or genetic conditions.

  24. Proper oral hygiene is the only sure way to prevent periodontal disease.
