Have you ever woken up in the morning with bad breath?
Or having bleeding gums while brushing your teeth?

Maybe so.

Situations like these can be so frequent and commonplace that many people label them as “normal”-they affect you, but at the same time, you learn to live with them without wondering why this happens anymore.

But is it good to get over it without giving it too much thought? What can happen in the long run?

Although frequent, gum bleeding and bad breath can be early alarm bells: somehow your body is warning you that something in your mouth is not going as it should.

Why do the gums bleed?

There can be many causes, more or less serious, that lead your gums to bleed. The presence of plaque or tartar in your mouth, the use of an unsuitable toothbrush or poor oral hygiene, but also general health conditions such as hormonal factors or altered blood sugar, are among the most frequent causes. Of these, however, there is one, invisible one that, in the long run, can compromise the health of your entire mouth: I am talking about PARODONTITIS.

What is periodontitis

Periodontitis is an inflammation of the gums that extends deep down damaging the supporting bone of the tooth. This is why it causes gum bleeding and tooth mobility. It is a real disease that, if neglected, can, in the long run, lead to simultaneous loss of multiple teeth.

Unfortunately, this is a sneaky, chronic and, very often asymptomatic disease: precisely because of its nature, most diagnoses are made late, when periodontitis has now taken hold in much of the patient’s mouth.

“How can I tell if I have periodontitis?” ‘And what can I do once I discover it?’ ”Is there a cure or should I resign myself to the fact that I will soon lose all my teeth?

What happens if you do nothing?

Unfortunately, periodontitis diffusely affects the dental elements in a sneaky and poorly symptomatic manner and leads to losing many teeth at once. Poor symptoms unfortunately do not help one realize the potential severity of the situation and decide to take early action to save the situation. Preventing the loss of one’s teeth and treating them as soon as one feels the first symptoms of periodontitis is the most conservative, painless and also least expensive way to take care of one’s mouth and keep one’s teeth healthy.

Not all practices are dedicated to treating periodontitis but only to replacing compromised teeth with titanium screws. The latter are unfortunately even more susceptible than natural teeth to periodontitis so this radical approach is definitely not the most reliable and recommended for patients’ health.

An effective team must have an adequate number of dental hygienists experienced in treating periodontitis, with whom to set up a treatment plan called “causal therapy.” Cleanings should be carried out painlessly with appropriate local anesthesia in a thorough manner and using high-tech instrumentation such that they effectively clean even under the gum without causing damage or trauma to the tissues. A practice dedicated to periodontal care invests in the latest and least invasive technologies to thoroughly clean teeth and gums and thus have the best healing results and ensure adequate maintenance Of the results achieved over time.

Every day Kravos and Guadagno Studio helps so many people overcome their hardships by finally making them smile again.

    Frequently asked questions

    But can periodontitis also affect titanium implants?
    Unfortunately, titanium implants are more susceptible than natural teeth to becoming ill with periodontitis and therefore should be subjected to more frequent checkups and professional hygiene sessions.
    Did you know that periodontitis is the leading cause of tooth loss?
    Very often the early signs are underestimated and the diagnosis comes late, but this does not mean that we should despair: many patients undertake therapy by deep-cleaning their gum pockets and, with appropriate measures put in place by the dentist, recover stability, chewing function and even supporting bone in their teeth.
    What is the cause of periodontitis?
    Periodontal disease, or vulgarly referred to as “pyorrhea,” is an inflammatory disease of bacterial origin that results in the destruction of the supporting tissues of the dental elements.

    The etiologic agent of the disease, therefore, is bacterial plaque, but there are certain risk factors, such as smoking, stress and certain systemic diseases such as diabetes, that can influence its onset and aggravate its course.
    How is periodontitis diagnosed?
    The clinical examination of choice in the diagnosis of periodontal disease is the compilation of a periodontal chart (where all clinical parameters of interest to us are recorded), which provides the clinician with the confidence of a correct and accurate diagnosis in order to plan a personalized treatment plan and monitoring of the disease over time.
    How is periodontitis treated?
    The actual operative treatment, referred to as root planing or root smoothing, aims to eradicate at the subgingival level the deposits of plaque and tartar (responsible for the inflammatory process). At the end of each session, the dental hygienist provides all oral hygiene instructions and aids, (such as brushing technique, manual or electric toothbrush, floss and interdental brushes) in order to promote proper and lasting oral hygiene.

    It is vital that the therapist emphasizes how proper and careful daily oral hygiene accounts for 80 percent of successful periodontal therapy.
