Improve the Health of Your Teeth and Gums to Maintain an Attractive Smile
Periodontal Gum Disease Treatment by Dr. Sultan Sherzoy - New Jersey Dentist
If you have been told you have periodontal (gum) disease, you're not alone. An estimated 80 percent of American adults currently have some form of the disease whose symptoms include:
- Bad breath that won't go away
- Red or swollen gums
- Tender or bleeding gums
- Painful chewing
- Loose teeth
- Sensitive teeth
Any of these symptoms may signal a serious problem, which should be checked by your dentist.
Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. Your gum tissue is not attached to the teeth as high as it may seem. There is a very shallow v-shaped crevice called a sulcus between the tooth and gums.
Periodontal diseases attack just below the gum line in the sulcus, where they cause the attachment of the tooth and it’s supporting tissues to break down. As the tissues are damaged, the sulcus develops into a pocket. Generally speaking, the more severe the disease, the greater the depth of the pocket.
Periodontal diseases are classified according to the severity of the disease. The two major stages are gingivitis and periodontitis.
- Gingivitis is a milder and reversible form of periodontal disease that only affects the gums.
- Gingivitis may lead to more serious, destructive forms of periodontal disease called periodontitis.
