What is Periodontitis?

Periodontitis is often underestimated by many, not paying attention to its first symptoms. However, even then we should think about it and take appropriate steps. We will list a few facts about this dental disease, which will amaze you. They may even make you become active in preventing or treating this phenomenon.

Periodontitis is a non-inflammatory chronic disease of the tissue surrounding the tooth. It often has uncharacteristic symptoms, so one does not suspect it at all.

The exact cause of this disease has not been determined so far. Experts believe that its onset is related to a circulatory disorder in the periodontal tissue. They also state that diabetics, people with cirrhosis of the liver, people with significantly weakened immunity or a disorder of the nervous system are at higher risk.

Stages of periodontitis

     First: slight pulling gums, reacting to hot and cold

Try to prevent periodontitis

 It is important to take care of oral and dental hygiene at the first symptoms, and even better before that. We don’t just mean washing here. There are, of course, many procedures that we do not pay attention to and skip them regularly.

For example, in order to train your teeth, it is useful to eat vegetable (apples; carrots). Avoid sweet and carbonated drinks that are harmful to our teeth.

It is desirable to massage the gums every morning. Press your upper right finger from top to bottom with your index finger. Do the opposite when it comes to the lower right. Go your finger from the bottom up. Let the massage last 3 minutes.

Change your toothbrush every 3 months.

And, of course, visit the dentist regularly. Don’t wait for a problem to arise. Stop him.
