Stages of Periodontitis Treatment

Abstract

If you notice that your gums are bleeding from time to time, for example, when you brush your teeth or bite into an apple or other solid food, and upon closer inspection you notice that your gums have changed color to bright scarlet and have swelling, you feel bad breath - all these symptoms indicate that you are beginning or have already begun periodontitis. Due to the constantly forming plaque on the teeth, if you do not consult a doctor in time, a so-called gum pocket may form, where food debris will fall, as well as infection, which will gradually destroy healthy tissue around the tooth and lead first to loosening of the damaged tooth, and then and even to its loss within a couple of months. Also, in the later stages of periodontitis, pus forms in the gum pockets, resulting in throbbing pain and increased temperature.
