Periodontal disease or gum disease include
Periodontal disease or gum disease include periodontitis and gingivitis. Painful gums to gums, affecting nearly 80% of adults. How to respond to these diseases? Doctissimo rounds out the available treatments. If there is healing for gingivitis, in the case of periodontitis, only a stabilization can currently be obtained. A good reason to play the card of prevention.
Prevention of honor
Treatment of the gums, put up a real dental hygiene. Because without it, the healing will not be satisfactory and the treatment will be ineffective. The dental hygiene is a brushing twice a day for three minutes. It is also recommended to use a soft toothbrush (not to injure the gums above) and complement it by using wire or interdentally brush. Then scaling, annual or biannual, your dentist will advise you the frequency that corresponds to your teeth and your eating habits … The removal is not painful, and besides, it not only prevents gingivitis, but it also makes you a brighter smile. When we reached the stage of periodontitis, a more aggressive technique called root (which eliminates the deep tartar and prevent microbial adhesion of the film) is used, it most often requires local anesthesia.
Controlling infections
Periodontitis has a strong infectious, and usually harmless bacteria in the mouth invite in the tissue that supports your teeth, or it is not prepared. It is therefore important to control the multiplication of bacteria. The means at your disposal to fight are simple: antiseptic mouthwash and even antibiotics if your dentist deems necessary. Mouths are not as effective as each other. They also do not generally treat as they reach areas that brushing or classical works but are a useful complement to other therapies. Antibiotics are not recommended as among the subjects who might more easily develop infections and often to complete a surfacing.
