GINGIVITIS AND\u00a0PERIODONTITIS<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”thick_solid” divider_width=”custom_width” custom_width=”20″ align=”left” border_color=”#333333″ margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”30″][vc_column_text]\n

The main diseases which can be found are gingivitis and periodontitis:<\/p>\n

Gingivitis<\/h5>\n

Gingivitis is the swelling of the gums with no loss of supporting bone.\u00a0The main cause is poor oral hygiene and, therefore, the presence of bacteria.<\/p>\n

Periodontitis<\/h5>\n

This involves alveolar bone loss, and may be associated with other factors (in addition to poor hygiene), such as genetic factors and hormones.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row visibility=”all” css=”.vc_custom_1451918954550{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_column_text]\n

Main causative factor: bacteria<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”thick_solid” divider_width=”custom_width” custom_width=”20″ align=”left” border_color=”#333333″ margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”30″][vc_column_text]\n

The main cause of gum disease is bacteria.\u00a0In the mouth there are many types of bacteria, many of which are harmful to the tissues that support the teeth.\u00a0This bacteria eventually form plaque between the tooth and gum.\u00a0The severity of damage to the gums depends on the susceptibility of each individual, which is determined by genetics. However, genetic predisposition is not sufficient to cause periodontitis, what is required is the presence of bacteria.<\/p>\n

Periodontitis is the major cause of tooth loss and hence its significance in diseases of the mouth.<\/p>\n

The symptoms of periodontal disease include redness, swelling and bleeding of the gums, especially when brushing.\u00a0They can also cause bad breath, tooth mobility and gum recession.\u00a0We recommend immediate treatment if you have any of these symptoms.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][mk_image src=”https:\/\/www.caballerodentalclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/perio2.jpg” image_width=”410″ image_height=”410″ crop=”false”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1451919075141{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][mk_image src=”https:\/\/www.caballerodentalclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/perio3.jpg” image_width=”700″ image_height=”700″ crop=”false”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_column_text]\n

What treatments are available?<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”thick_solid” divider_width=”custom_width” custom_width=”20″ align=”left” border_color=”#333333″ margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”30″][vc_column_text]\n

The treatment is based on eliminating bacteria, thus stopping the progression of the disease.\u00a0This is done using an ultrasound device that removes plaque deposited on the tooth, or by curettage or physical scraping where there is more accumulation of calculus (tartar) below the gum or if periodontal pockets are present.<\/p>\n

In Caballero Dental Clinic we insist on the technical correction of hygiene for good plaque control, to eliminate the triggers of the disease (calculus or periodontal pockets).<\/p>\n

There are systemic conditions and diseases such as diabetes and emotional stress, which can influence periodontal disease.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row visibility=”all” css=”.vc_custom_1451918954550{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_column_text]\n

Tobacco and smokers<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”thick_solid” divider_width=”custom_width” custom_width=”20″ align=”left” border_color=”#333333″ margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”30″][vc_column_text]\n

Although tobacco is not able to directly produce periodontal disease, what it does is increase the severity of the disease through a decreased blood supply to the gum tissues. Consequently there is a decreased defense against bacteria and this also decreases the effectiveness of\u00a0treatment.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][mk_image src=”https:\/\/www.caballerodentalclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/tabaco-clinica-CF.jpg” image_width=”700″ image_height=”700″ crop=”false”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1451919075141{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][mk_image src=”https:\/\/www.caballerodentalclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/encias-sanas-clinica-CF.jpg” image_width=”700″ image_height=”700″ crop=”false”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_column_text]\n

How do we recognize healthy gums?<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”thick_solid” divider_width=”custom_width” custom_width=”20″ align=”left” border_color=”#333333″ margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”30″][vc_column_text]\n
    \n
  • Color: Usually pink, although according to racial pigmentation they may vary in color.<\/li>\n
  • Thickness: generally the gum is a thin, delicate layer covering a tooth root.<\/li>\n
  • They do not bleed under any normal stimulus (brushing, eating, examine the gums).\u00a0In the case of smokers, the gums may not bleed but may be inflamed, as tobacco decreases blood supply and therefore inflammation is not as visible but still exists.<\/li>\n
  • Dotted surface: the surface of the gum looks like orange peel and occurs mainly in the gum covering the front teeth.<\/li>\n
  • The gum must completely cover the tooth root.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It is very important to keep up with regular check ups after periodontal treatment for lasting results. In Caballero Dental Clinic we will give a reminder when these are due.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][mk_page_section bg_image=”https:\/\/www.caballerodentalclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/caballero-cta-contacto.jpg” bg_color=”#00416b” attachment=”fixed” bg_position=”center center” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_stretch=”true” enable_3d=”true” speed_factor=”0″ bg_gradient=”left_top” video_color_mask=”#ffffff” gr_end=”rgba(255,255,255,0.01)” video_opacity=”0″ min_height=”0″ padding_top=”20″ padding_bottom=”20″ sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column width=”2\/3″][mk_fancy_title tag_name=”h3″ color=”#ffffff” size=”18″ font_weight=”bold” letter_spacing=”1″ margin_top=”65″ margin_bottom=”30″ font_family=”none”]FOR MORE INFORMATION[\/mk_fancy_title][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][mk_button dimension=”outline” size=”x-large” url=”https:\/\/www.caballerodentalclinic.com\/en\/contact\/” align=”center” fullwidth=”true” margin_top=”40″ margin_bottom=”40″ outline_skin=”custom” outline_active_color=”#ffffff” outline_hover_color=”#2babb6″]CONTACT US[\/mk_button][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
