Top ten symptoms to help you know the hidden periodontal disease

Periodontal disease is one of the most common oral diseases in my country. The fourth national oral health epidemiological survey shows that there are less than 10%of the periodontal health of adults in my country, and as many as 62.4%of patients with medium -weight periodicitis. The destruction of tissue surrounding teeth will have an impact on chewing, speech, aesthetics and other functions, and even affects people's psychology and reduce the quality of life.

"Like a Beegmen": Dental Organization

Periodontitis is one of the main reasons for the loss of teeth in my country. In recent years, more and more studies have shown that periodontitis is closely related to systemic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and Alzheimer's disease. Essence

The so -called periodontal tissue, that is, the tissue around the tooth, has dental bone, periodontal membrane, alveolar bone and gum tissue from the inside to the outside. If the teeth are metaphorized to a tree, then the periodontal tissue is the soil around the root of the tree. Periodontal disease refers to a set of diseases that occur in periodontal tissues, mainly inflammatory diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis we are familiar with. The former inflammation only spreads the gum tissue, and the latter will also have alveolar bone damage caused by inflammation.

The periodontal recovery is like a real hermit, walking on the market, but not noticed by people. With "brushing bleeding caused by brushing is caused by brushing", "fire to the teeth", "toothache is not a disease", "old teeth", "tooth washing to teeth is harmful to teeth" and other rumors successfully shifted people's sight, evading people's intervention in its intervention in it Essence

Top ten symptoms of periodontal disease

Periodontal disease is deep. Pay attention to the following ten symptoms:

1

Brushing bleeding

If it is a healthy gums, brushing your teeth will not bleed. Brushing bleeding is the earliest warning signal that reflects gum inflammation. Even if you have no brushing bleeding, you can stop yourself, and you still remind you that "the wolf is coming." Bleeding gums can also be manifested as chewing hard bleeding or the first saliva in the morning.

2

Gum red swelling

Healthy gums are pink. When the mirror finds that the gums become bright red or dark red, remind you that the gums have problems

3

Repeated and swollen gums

"Fire the teeth" indicates that the periodontal disease has lurked. Healthy gums will not be patronized by "fire".

4

The teeth become longer, the teeth are larger

Under the action of inflammation, the periodontal tissue was destroyed, and the "surrounding soil" similar to the roots of the tree appeared, resulting in bare teeth, long teeth, and larger teeth.

5

Food olored

There are many factors that lead to food olics, and the increasing teeth caused by the destruction of the periodontal tissue are one of the reasons.

6

Teeth are cold, hot sensitivity

The exposure of the teeth is one of the reasons why the teeth are cold and thermal sensitivity. In addition, the spots that are not cleared on the root surface can produce acidic substances and will increase tooth sensitivity.

7

Tone

There are many reasons that cause heavy tone, and some people can be relieved by periodontal treatment.

8

Dental displacement

With the increase of age, many people will feel "deformation of the teeth." In fact, this is the result of the periodontal tissue that cannot support the teeth to maintain the original position.

9

Loose teeth

Most of the periodontal tissue is destroyed to a certain degree of tooth loosening symptoms. Natural teeth do not mean that they must be removed. Some of them can be relieved by systematic treatment. Some people are keen to seek a fixed method for loose teeth, but the fixation of loose teeth is conditional. Generally, it is mostly used for lower front teeth, and it must be considered after systematic treatment. It is not realistic to rely on fixing to retain the teeth. Although some irregular operations can temporarily do what you wish, it is endless.

10

Teeth fall

As mentioned earlier, periodontal disease is the main cause of the loss of teeth in our country.

Many people look at their teeth not to find symptoms and go to the doctor immediately, but to go to the clinic when periodontal disease has reached the point where they have to see. At this time, periodontal diseases have often reached the middle and late stages. The treatment cycle is long, the cost is high, and the curative effect is poor. Therefore, we emphasize regular examination and early treatment.

The only way to prevent and control periodontal disease

The oral cavity is a area where bacteria are high. The bacteria in the oral cavity are constantly deposited on the surface of the teeth, forming a gang of bacteria, bacteria, and spiral bodies -plaque biofilms. For bacteria and toxic products in the plaque biofilm, the immune response generated by the body will increase the destruction of periodontal tissue.

Periodontal disease is the result of the combination of bacterial plaque biofilm and host immune response. The bacteria in the plaque biofilm look like a pistol trigger, and the host's immune response is a bullet that causes the destruction of periodontal tissue. The current medical level does not have the ability to regulate the owner's immune response. Controlling plaque biofilm has become the only way to prevent and control periodontal disease.

The plaque is constantly deposited on the tooth surface. If it is not cleared in time, it will be calcified by the minerals in the saliva to form calculus. Therefore, the prevention and control of the period around the control or clearance of plaque biofosm and dental stones is carried out: the plaque biofilm and dental stones are cleared through mechanical methods, the factors of increasing the deposits of plaque biofilms are eliminated, and an environment is conducive to controlling the plaque biofilm.

Clear the periodontal treatment of plaque biofosm and dental stone is a systematic process. It needs to be treated from shallow to deep treatment according to the severity of the disease. , Detaica surgery. Because the plaque biofilm is constantly formed, periodontal treatment cannot be eagerly treated once and for all. After the periodontal system treatment, it is also necessary to review and maintain regularly.

Some people may ask: "I brush my teeth twice a day, often use dental floss, and my diet is healthy. Why do I still have periodontal disease?" First of all, it depends on whether the brushing method is correct and whether the brushing is in place.Some people have brushed their teeth for a lifetime, and the method has always been wrong, and it has not played a role in clearing the plaque biofilm.For example: only the outer sides of the teeth, the side of the tongue is not brushed; brushing the teeth only brushes the teeth, and the junction of the teeth and gums is not focused on.Secondly, it is not enough to brush your teeth and use your teeth correctly.No matter how serious self -cleaning, there will be omissions and inaccessible places, and it is necessary to check regularly and clean gums.

Let's be like the homeland of human beings, the home of the homeland that cherishes teeth!
