I got angry and my gums were swollen again. I found that my gums were bleeding and my bad breath was serious when I brushed my teeth in the morning. Have you cared about these small oral problems? Periodontal disease is called “silent disease”, which is easy to be ignored. At the beginning, it only causes gingival bleeding when brushing or eating, and then gingival inflammation and swelling. At the same time, it aggravates plaque accumulation, and then leads to weak bite, pus and even loose teeth. How can we prevent periodontal disease and protect our teeth?
what is periodontal disease
Bi Liangjia: the disease around the teeth refers to the inflammation and destruction of the tissues around the teeth, such as gums, alveolar bones and tissues outside the roots. The teeth themselves are good.
what causes periodontal disease in life
Bi Liangjia: external factors are mainly bacteria and oral hygiene environment, such as dental calculus, some food, some trauma caused by chewing food, and iatrogenic damage. In addition, the more recognized problem of smoking is the stimulation of tobacco to oral tissues.
In addition, internal factors include the state of the body. When you get angry in a hurry, your gums swell. Metabolic diseases such as diabetes cause unstable blood sugar, which destroys your teeth. The comprehensive result of these factors is the destruction of periodontal tissue, so periodontitis is actually a comprehensive factor leading to the destruction of tissue.
can periodontal disease be self diagnosed
Bi Liangjia: patients can make self diagnosis, such as red and swollen gums, bleeding gums, weak mastication and so on. They need to see a doctor in time to see if they have periodontal disease.
can toothpaste treat periodontal diseases
Bi Liangjia: the etiology of periodontitis is very complex. Doctors need to see a doctor first. How does this disease come about and how to take measures according to the causes. For some local inflammations, use some medicated toothpaste, which is good for inflammation, but it is necessary to find out the cause of the problem to really solve it. Medicated toothpaste should be reasonably applied under the guidance of doctors. Perfect periodontal disease treatment needs to find out the causes, what causes periodontal disease, and then change the factors that cause it.
