Perhaps you’ve heard of periodontitis, also known as severe gum inflammation. Are you wondering what it is exactly, how it develops, and how you can recognize it yourself?<\/span><\/p>\n In this blog, we’ll provide you with all the details.<\/span><\/p>\n Periodontitis is an advanced form of gum inflammation. Because the inflammation has been present in the mouth for some time, it can easily spread. The inflammation can progress from the gums to the underlying jawbone.<\/span><\/p>\n The consequence of this is that the jawbone around your teeth and molars starts to deteriorate. This greatly increases the likelihood of your teeth and molars becoming loose and eventually falling out.<\/span><\/p>\n Periodontitis develops due to plaque, which is formed by bacteria. If plaque remains on the teeth for an extended period, it calcifies into tartar.<\/span><\/p>\n New layers of plaque can then form on the tartar, leading to gum inflammation. This inflammation often creates spaces between the teeth and gums. Plaque can also accumulate in these spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n The next step is for the inflammation to spread to the jawbone. When the jawbone is lost due to inflammation, it is referred to as periodontitis.<\/span><\/p>\n You can easily recognize inflamed gums by their color. Healthy gums are pink, while inflamed gums have a red color. Swollen gums are also a common reaction.<\/span><\/p>\n Other symptoms of periodontitis include bad breath, fatigue, and bleeding gums. If you experience these symptoms, it’s wise to make an appointment with your dentist.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”2281″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Certain conditions increase the risk of periodontitis.<\/span><\/p>\n Fortunately, you can prevent periodontitis.
