The best way to prevent dental problems is to go to the dentist regularly and have your teeth examined, cleaned, and x-rayed.\u00a0 In order to ensure and preserve the natural dentition and supporting bony structures, there has to be a combination of excellent home care and professional dental care.\u00a0 The gums and bone around the teeth can be affected by bacteria and toxins if bacteria and calculus (tartar) around the teeth are not removed properly, resulting in gingivitis or periodontitis, which in extreme cases can lead to tooth loss.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researches have shown that smoking and tobacco use is one of the most significant factors that contribute to the onset and progression of gum disease, especially for patients with a history of gum disease.\u00a0 Smokers do not only experience a slower recovery and healing rate when it comes to the teeth, but they are also more likely to suffer from calculus (tartar) buildup on the teeth, deep pockets in the gingival tissue, as well as significant bone loss as a result of smoking.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The genetic predisposition to gum disease exists even if you practice rigorous oral hygiene routines. It is possible that as much as 30% of the population may suffer from a strong genetic predisposition to gum disease.\u00a0 Individuals with a genetic predisposition to periodontal disease are six times more likely to develop this disease than individuals without such a predisposition.\u00a0 In order to prevent the oral cavity from becoming infected, genetic tests can be used to determine susceptibility and early intervention can be performed.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pregnancy and menopause \u2013 It is extremely important to brush and floss your teeth regularly while you are pregnant. A hormonal change in the body can cause the gum tissue to become more sensitive, making them more susceptible to gum disease as a result of the increased sensitivity.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grinding teeth \u2013 The clenching or grinding of the teeth can lead to significant damage to the supporting tissue surrounding the teeth, as well as the supporting bone structure.\u00a0 Usually, grinding one&#8217;s teeth is related to a &#8220;bad bite&#8221; or a misalignment of one&#8217;s teeth as a result of a bad bite.\u00a0 The additional destruction of gingival tissue that occurs due to grinding can accelerate the progression of gum disease in the case of someone who is already suffering from gum disease.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prescription drugs \u2013 It has been shown that many drugs, including oral contraceptives, heart medicines, antidepressants and steroids, can adversely affect the condition of the teeth and gums; thus making them more susceptible to gum disease in the future.\u00a0 The use of steroids promotes gingival overgrowth, which increases swelling and facilitates the colonization of bacteria in the gum tissue.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic stress and poor diet \u2013 There is considerable evidence that stress weakens the immune system&#8217;s ability to fight off disease, so bacteria may possibly be able to overcome the body&#8217;s defense system in the event of an infection.\u00a0 As a result of poor diet or malnutrition, the body is also less able to fight periodontal infections, which in turn has a negative effect on the health of the gums.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diabetes and other underlying medical conditions \u2013 Gum disease can be intensified or accelerated by many medical conditions, including respiratory disease, heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis and other conditions that can accelerate its onset and progression.\u00a0 Due to diabetes, the body&#8217;s ability to utilize insulin is impaired, making it more difficult to control and cure gum disease.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ed57c75 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5ed57c75\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The treatment of gum disease<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d87a235 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d87a235\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in treating gum disease and placing dental implants as well.\u00a0 A periodontist is skilled at performing effective cleaning procedures in deep pockets, such as scaling and root planing.
