What Causes Periodontal Disease?

The root cause of periodontal disease is a bacterial infection. When you eat food, tiny scraps of plaque get mixed with bacteria that live in a space called the dental ectopic bulb, between your teeth and gums. When this mixture accumulates for a long time, it turns into a solid plaque, forming a periodontal sac that is the perfect environment for bacteria to dwell in. This causes the gums which surround the teeth to recede or completely dissolve. In severe cases, the entire teeth should be removed as soon as possible.

How Is Periodontal Disease Treated?

Various levels of gum treatment are available at Make Dental, depending on the degree of severity of the disease.

STEP 1

Cleaning

Treatment that consists of scratching and removing bacterial membranes and tartar on the surface of teeth that cannot easily be removed with a toothbrush.

STEP 2

Initial Root Planing

Treatment that smooths out the rough root surface at the bottom of the teeth by dental scaling.

STEP 3

Root Planing

Treatment to remove inflammatory tissue and tartar inside the gums that cannot be dealt with by dental scaling.

STEP 4

Periodontal Surgery

If gum disease is advanced and the periodontal structure melts away, worsening the inflammation within the roots of the teeth, a procedure is needed to incise the gums, expose the roots, and remove inflamed tissues
