Gingivitis is an inflammatory disease of the gums, the early stage of periodontal disease. It is an inflammation of the gum tissue around the teeth, caused by the accumulation of bacterial plaque on the tooth surface and below the gum line. Gingivitis is one of the most common oral diseases, with a prevalence ranging from 50% to 99% in both children and adults.
Periodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and conditions that affect the supporting structures of the teeth. These structures include the gums, alveolar bone (the part of the jaw where the tooth roots are located), periodontal ligament (the connective tissue that holds the teeth in place), and cementum (the surface layer of the tooth roots). The term “periodontics” comes from the Greek words “peri,” meaning around, and “odont,” meaning tooth.
Bleeding gums when brushing teeth is a condition in which the gums bleed when in contact with a toothbrush or dental floss. This is a fairly common phenomenon that many people experience, especially when brushing their teeth in the morning.
Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues that support the teeth and surround them. If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss. In recent years, tissue regeneration has emerged as a promising treatment for periodontal disease.
The periodontium is the tissue that surrounds and supports the teeth, including the gums, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and cementum. Periodontal disease is an inflammatory condition that affects the periodontal tissues, causing damage and destruction of the structures that support the teeth.
Dental Checkups Regular dental checkups are an essential part of maintaining good oral health. Not only is it a good habit, but it is also an important preventative measure that can help detect and prevent potential dental problems early.
