Periodontitis is a serious dental issue that includes gum damage and bone loss. It is also a progression of the early stages of gingivitis, since the disease escalates when not treated. The has manifestations of periodontitis are many though it may sometimes be gradual or aggressive in growth. The levels or degrees of periodontal diseases are as follows:
Inflammation of the gums – The first sign is an internal inflammation of the gums that starts as an innocent-looking swelling. Though usually at the first stage it does not inflate to bad proportions, it can be easily felt by the patient that the gum is swelling because of a certain thickness in the gums. The gums may also bleed, or in a more aggressive periodontal issue, a small amount of pus may also be seen.
Area discoloration – A healthy set of gums are colored a slight coral pink, and one of the first signs of gum disease turns that to a strange color of either a harsh red with zigzag lines or a darkened color that doesn’t look normal. When you see a normal gum color and gums with that are asymptomatic of gum disease, it is easy to tell apart the difference in them.
Tenderness and Gum Pain – Sometimes despite the instructions given that an infected gum should not be touched for fear of its being exposed to more bacteria, anyone can’t help feeling around it and may feel an offshoot of pain and the gums being extra tender to the touch, especially around the areas that are closest to the infected teeth. A lot of times people give up brusing altogether because they fear aggravating the condition more. The periodontium continues to bleed at this stage. For this stage of periodontal disease treatment, it revolves around continuous dental clean up despite the pain by brushing the teeth after switching to an extra soft-bristled toothbrush.
Gum Recession and Necrosis – Though these progress gradually, an untreated periodontitis can reach this point where the gums recede, pulling back from its original gum line and exposing the root of the tooth. Patients whose gums have recede report of severe daily pain when they eat or drink various temperatures. Necrosis can also happen at the later stages of aggressive periodontitis and it is at this time when you need periodontitis treatment the most.
In a short period of time bacteria can multiply and strengthen their attack on your vulnerable teeth. So make sure to avoid having to endure all these and keep your teeth safe!
