Gum Disease: Protect Your Oral and Dental Health

The current goal of periodontology is to contribute to dental health by treating problems such as inflammatory gum disease, gum overgrowth, and gum recession, while also improving quality of life by ensuring the function and aesthetics of teeth through regenerative and pink aesthetic procedures.

Periodontal disease occurs when the teeth and all surrounding tissues are affected. Swollen, red, bleeding gums, gums that become sensitive when touched, bad breath, new gaps developing between the teeth, and pus between the teeth and gums are symptoms of periodontal disease. According to research, if these diseases are left untreated, problems such as tooth loss, heart attack, stroke, diabetes, respiratory diseases, and premature birth or miscarriage may occur. From this perspective, it becomes clear how important the early diagnosis of periodontal disease is.

The following steps can be taken to prevent and treat periodontal diseases:

• Regular Brushing and Flossing: Brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing are important steps in preventing gum disease.
• Dental Checkups: Visiting the dentist at least twice a year ensures that gum health is regularly monitored.
• Healthy Eating Habits: Balanced and healthy eating habits are important for maintaining oral and dental health.
• Avoiding Risk Factors: Avoiding risk factors such as smoking, poor nutrition, stress, and genetic factors is important in preventing periodontal disease.
• Early Diagnosis and Treatment: Early diagnosis and treatment of gum problems play a critical role in preventing serious complications.
