If left unchecked, it can have a massive impact on your dental health. Also called periodontitis, this dental condition is caused by plaque buildup on your teeth. If it stays on your teeth long enough, plaque can cause inflammation in your gums, which can eventually damage the bone and tissues that hold your teeth in place. Thankfully, however, there are a few stages to periodontitis. So if you catch it early enough, you can stop it before it causes irreversible damage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ADA recommends seeing your dentist right away if you experience any of these symptoms:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Red, swollen, or tender gums<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Receding gums<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bad breath that won\u2019t go away<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pus between teeth and gums<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loose teeth or gaps forming between teeth<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain while chewing<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first stage of periodontal disease is commonly known as gingivitis. If you start to notice your gums become red, swollen, or bleed when brushing or flossing, it\u2019s time to visit the dentist. At this stage, gum disease is reversible with professional cleaning and consistent care at home. But without treatment, gingivitis can develop into periodontal disease. The ADA states that periodontitis can do lasting damage to the gums, bones, and other structures surrounding your teeth. And if left untreated, advanced periodontal disease can develop and wreak havoc on your oral health. When the supporting tissues are weakened and damaged enough, your teeth can become loose or even fall out.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To combat periodontitis and keep your mouth plaque-free, Dental Express provides surgical and nonsurgical treatment options based on how advanced your condition is. We offer periodontal cleanings, antibiotics, scaling and root planing, gum surgery, and tooth extractions at all of our locations in the San Diego area. If you\u2019re showing signs of periodontal disease, give us a call to schedule a dental exam and consultation today.
