WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUHAVE PERIODONTAL DISEASE
![Page 3: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
PERIODONTAL DISEASE IS CAUSED BY BACTERIAL INFECTION
![Page 4: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Family dentists diagnose and treat periodontal disease to help you avoid losing teeth from a serious infection that spreads through soft tissues inside the mouth.
![Page 5: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Periodontal disease rarely occurs when you visit a dental professional on a regular basis to have plaque removed from teeth along with having cavities filled.
![Page 6: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Plaque is a hard substance that collects toward the base of teeth or in difficult to reach areas, and it contains bacteria that destroy dental enamel.
![Page 7: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Without quick intervention from a dentist, the bacteria multiply to invade your dental pulp and gum tissue.

GINGIVITIS SYMPTOMS BEGIN FIRST
![Page 9: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Before developing periodontal disease, you will have gingivitis that affects only the gum tissue with symptoms such as:
![Page 10: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Swollen tissue at the base of your teeth
Reddish or purplish gum tissue
A foul taste in your mouth
![Page 11: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Your gum tissue may look shiny
Chronic halitosis despite daily dental hygiene
Pain while drinking beverages or chewing food
Bleeding from the gums while brushing or flossing your teeth
![Page 12: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
WHAT LEADS TO GINGIVITIS?
![Page 13: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
You might be predisposed to gingivitis because of an inherited tendency, but in most cases, it is caused by:
Poor dental hygiene
Mental stress
Bad habits such as smoking cigarettes
![Page 14: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Poor diet may also increase the likelihood of developing gingivitis if you seldom consume vegetables or fruit that contains essential vitamins.
![Page 15: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
If you have misaligned teeth, then removing plaque from tight spaces is often difficult, leading to bacteria that infects soft tissues in the mouth.
![Page 16: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
HOW PERIODONTAL DISEASE IS DIAGNOSED
![Page 17: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
When you fail to seek assistance from a dentist for gingivitis as quickly as possible, the condition progresses to become periodontal disease.
![Page 18: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Cosmetic dentists can find evidence of this infection with a visual examination using a probe.
![Page 19: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
In addition, X-ray images will show where there is infection inside the gum tissue.
![Page 20: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
A diagnosis of periodontitis is serious because it can lead to infection in ligaments and alveolar bone that causes loss of teeth.
![Page 21: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
DENTAL PROFESSIONALS MUST CLASSIFY PERIODONTITIS
![Page 22: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
There are seven levels of infection that family dentists look for to classify periodontal disease.
![Page 23: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Gingivitis is the first classification and is treatable with removal of plaque during a thorough dental cleaning.
![Page 24: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Gingivitis is the first classification and is treatable with removal of plaque during a thorough dental cleaning.
![Page 25: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
During this stage of periodontal disease, a patient often takes antibiotics to eliminate infection lurking in the oral tissues.
![Page 26: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The highest level of infection from periodontitis involves seeing abscesses on gum tissue.
![Page 27: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
A dentist must also determine exactly where the infection is located by inspecting six areas around each tooth.
![Page 28: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
When 30% of these sites are infected, the condition is considered localized, but if more are infected, then the periodontal disease is diagnosed as generalized.
![Page 29: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The last measurement of periodontitis infection is determining the amount of ligament loss.
![Page 30: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
HOW PERIODONTAL DISEASE IS TREATED
![Page 31: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
It is important for you to realize that pain and loose teeth are the last or most severe signs of periodontal disease …
![Page 32: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
… and family dentists must intervene immediately with invasive treatment to remove the infectious tissue.
![Page 33: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The first treatment includes scaling the teeth with an instrument to remove calculus before debridement or removal of infected tissue.
![Page 34: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
When X-rays reveal calculus on the roots of teeth, you require a root planing.
![Page 35: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
For this procedure, you are anesthetized as the dentist inserts a curette to scrape infection from sensitive dental roots.
![Page 36: What Happens When You Have Periodontal Disease](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1ca5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
