¿Qué es la enfermedad periodontal y cuáles son los síntomas?
Periodontal disease is an infection that affects the gums and the bone supporting the teeth. It can progress from mild gingivitis to more severe periodontitis.
Symptoms include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, tooth sensitivity, gum recession, and loose teeth.
The primary cause is the accumulation of bacterial plaque on the teeth and gums. Other risk factors include smoking, poor oral hygiene, medical conditions such as diabetes, and genetic predisposition.
Gingivitis is a reversible inflammation of the gums, whereas periodontitis is a more advanced disease that can cause permanent damage to the tissues supporting the teeth.
¿Cómo se trata la enfermedad periodontal?
Treatment varies depending on the severity of the condition. It may include deep cleanings (scaling and root planing), laser therapy, periodontal surgery, and maintaining good oral hygiene at home. In advanced cases, surgery may be necessary to remove infected tissue and restore periodontal health.
The duration of periodontal treatment varies depending on the severity of the disease. It may involve several dental visits for deep cleanings and check-ups, and in more severe cases, may require long-term treatment to maintain gum health.
Non-surgical periodontal therapy includes procedures such as scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar from beneath the gums without the need for surgery. It is effective in the early stages of periodontitis.
¿Es doloroso el tratamiento periodontal?
During the consultation, the periodontist will evaluate the health of your gums and supporting tissues, possibly using X-rays. A personalized treatment plan will then be developed, if necessary
The procedures are generally performed under local anesthesia to minimize any discomfort. Patients typically feel comfortable during the treatment, although some postoperative discomfort may occur in cases involving surgery.
¿Qué es un curetaje? ¿Qué es un injerto de encía?
Curettage is a procedure to remove tartar and bacteria from below the gumline and smooth the tooth roots to prevent bacteria from re-adhering. A dental cleaning is more superficial and is performed on the visible part of the teeth.
A gum graft is a surgical procedure in which gum tissue or synthetic material is transplanted to cover areas of gum recession and improve gum health and dental aesthetics.
¿Qué sucede si no se trata la enfermedad periodontal?
If left untreated, periodontal disease can progress and cause tooth loss, damage to the bone and other supporting tissues, and may have broader implications for the individual’s overall health.
Studies suggest a link between periodontal diseases and other health conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and pregnancy complications.
Prevention involves good daily oral hygiene (brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash), regular dental visits for professional cleanings, and avoiding risk factors such as smoking and high-sugar diets.
