2. Periodontal Diseases and Their Treatment • Periodontal Care refers to taking care of gums and other structures surrounding the teeth. Just like teeth can have problem so can gums. Gum disease also referred as periodontics. • Gum disease can create a lot of problems, and there is evidence to link gum problems to heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions. • Periodontal disease is gum disease or disease affecting either gum, periodontal ligament. The word “Periodontal” refers to ‘around the teeth’.

3. Symptoms of Periodontal Disease • Many people who suffer from periodontal disease are not even aware that they have this disease. This is because the early stages of this disease do not cause pain or discomfort. • If you go for a routine dental check-up, then the disease can be detected at an early stage and promptly treated. • Some of the symptoms that indicate you have periodontal disease are: • Bleeding from gums. • Space is created between teeth, which could be due to bone loss. • Teeth becoming loose (caused by bone loss). • Bad breath that remains for a long time and is caused by bacterial growth. • Gums becoming red or swollen. • Infection in the gums, leading to pus. • Irritation, discomfort, and tenderness in the gums.

4. Diagnosing Periodontal Disease • Periodontal disease may be diagnosed during a routine check-up. • Also, if you experience any of the symptoms listed above, you can meet one of the periodontal specialists in Longmont to get treated. • During diagnosis, the doctor would use an instrument known as the periodontal probe. • This probe is used to measure the space between the gums and teeth. Increased space could be an indicator of periodontal disease. • The doctor would check the gums for inflammation and signs of disease.

5. Treating Periodontal Disease Based on the gums inflammation and signs of disease, the disease can be classified as one of the following: • Gingivitis: This is the first stage of periodontal disease. In this stage, plaque caused by bacteria causes irritation to the gum. It can cause discomfort, bleeding, or inflammation. • Periodontitis: When the plaque becomes hard, it is converted to tartar. The gums would then begin to move away from the teeth. The pockets created can be infected and can develop pus. • Advanced Periodontitis: In this stage, the gums, the ligament, and the bone can suffer damage. Bone loss can develop. Without proper treatment, the teeth would become loose and fall off. Once the periodontal specialist makes the diagnosis, they would treat the condition depending on its classification. Gum disease treatment in Longmont provides the treatment as per the diagnosis.
