Periodontal Disease is actually the swelling of various tissues in your mouth.
This actually leads to bone loss of your individual teeth and possible loss of the teeth all together.
It is important to watch for signs or symptoms of gum disease.
There are several different ways to go about preventing and treating periodontal disease which we will discuss later.
The body's immune response to the bacteria on your teeth is what ends up causing and contributing to gingivitis.
This disease mainly comes from the lack of proper brushing, flossing, and use of mouthwash.
The bacterium sits on the teeth and eventually causes an infection.
The body's immune response then kicks in and tries to destroy the bacterial infection.
However this only makes the situation worse and usually causes gum disease.
If left untreated this disease can lead to bone loss of the teeth and even completely losing ones teeth.
Which is why this is a serious disease and needs to be taken seriously and treated properly.
The ways in which you can prevent this disease are actually relatively straightforward.
They involve proper brushing of the individual's teeth.
A lot of people believe that when brushing you need to use an over adequate amount of force to properly clean teeth.
However this is not true and actually using too much force can help to damage your gums.
When brushing you should use a lesser amount of force but make sure to reach and cover more of your teeth and gums then just the front side.
Also it is important to properly floss and use mouthwash each and every time you clean your teeth.
The last step to proper prevention involves regular visits to the dentist.
