Periodontal Disease
Report
The word "periodontal" means "around the tooth." Periodontal disease (also known as "gum disease, " "pyorrhea" or "periodontal infection") is an ongoing bacterial infection in the gums and bone around your teeth. This infection leads to an inflammation under the gums and if not treated, can destroy the bone around your teeth.
The Consequences of Periodontal Disease
Report
Periodontal disease leads to inflammation of the gums. This inflammatory bacteria then enters your bloodstream and travels throughout your body. Researchers have linked this process to a number of serious medical conditions. It is important to treat periodontal disease as quickly as possible to avoid the release of bacteria into your bloodstream.
Periodontal Maintenance
Report
Periodontal Disease is similar to other chronic diseases, such as Diabetes. The key to control is early diagnosis and treatment, followed by prompt, ongoing treatment. This entails periodontal maintenance procedures (PMP). PMP helps in gaining control of the disease and increases your chances of keeping your teeth.
