Periodontitis is a serious gum infection that can ultimately cause your teeth to fall out. If periodontitis is left untreated, it can have serious consequences. It is therefore important to visit the dentist for a check-up every six months so that we can identify any symptoms in good time and treat your teeth preventively.
Periodontitis develops in stages over the years. If you do not clean your teeth properly, you will first develop plaque. Plaque consists of food debris that can then inflame your gums. Because your gums become inflamed, they loosen around your teeth. This space then allows food debris to stick again, which ultimately aggravates the inflammation. The advanced inflammation spreads to the jawbone. In the final stage, the jawbone breaks down, causing your teeth to fall out.
Periodontitis can be recognised by inflamed gums. The first signs of this are:
You may also have been suffering from periodontitis for some time. You may notice this when there is space between your teeth or when your teeth feel loose. It is also possible that you will not notice any signs of gum inflammation at all. Therefore, make sure you visit our dental practice regularly.
It is important that you take action in good time. Once part of the jawbone has been damaged, it cannot be repaired. You can remove plaque from your teeth yourself using interdental brushes, toothpicks or dental floss. Periodontitis is treated by a dentist or dental hygienist, who will professionally remove the plaque behind your gums.
