It is important to keep in mind that if periodontal disease is not properly treated, it can lead to loose, unstable, and even lost teeth. There is no doubt that periodontal disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults in the developed world, and it is something that should not be taken lightly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order for periodontitis to begin, the toxins present in plaque begin to attack the soft or gingival tissue surrounding the teeth, causing them to become inflamed. A bacterial infection is caused when a bacterium embeds itself in the gum and breeds rapidly, causing the gum to become infected. It is important to note that as the infection progresses, it causes irritation or inflammation between the gums and the teeth as it burrows deeper into the tissue. The body&#8217;s response is to destroy the infected tissue, which explains why the gums appear to recede as a result of the body&#8217;s response. If no treatment is sought, the pockets between the teeth deepen and the tissue that makes up the jawbone recedes as well, resulting in unstable teeth and tooth loss.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-54a9f955\" data-id=\"54a9f955\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6eb4d56b elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6eb4d56b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 05-08-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"997\" src=\"https:\/\/thedentalroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/service-image-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-488\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedentalroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/service-image-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/thedentalroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/service-image-1-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedentalroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/service-image-1-1024x532.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thedentalroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/service-image-1-768x399.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thedentalroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/service-image-1-1536x798.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1ef946b elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1ef946b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3511844\" data-id=\"3511844\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba68c97 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ba68c97\" 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\">Periodontal diseases and their types<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af9e6fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"af9e6fe\" 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\tVarious types of periodontal disease exist, and there are a variety of ways in which these variations manifest themselves, as well.

In the event that scaling and root planing procedures are performed in conjunction with antimicrobial treatments in order to stop the progression of the disease, it may be possible to stop the disease&#8217;s progression. It may be necessary for the periodontist to perform surgical procedures such as pocket reduction surgery and tissue grafts in order to strengthen the bone and improve the aesthetic appearance of the oral cavity, depending on the situation.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c877479 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c877479\" 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\">Gingivitis<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51c64d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"51c64d5\" 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;\">The most common form of periodontitis is gingivitis, which is the mildest and most common form of periodontitis.
