Gingival diseases, which lead to serious health problems, are infections that occur in the tissues surrounding the teeth. Especially harmful eating habits, tobacco products, poor oral hygiene, stress, malnutrition, poorly made fillings, genetic factors and some some diseases injure the gingiva and disrupt the gingival structure. The gingiva with its structure deteriorated causes infection, irritation and inflammation in the gingival tissue. If early gingival treatment isn’t applied to gingival diseases, this leads to tooth loss and various diseases in the body.
Gingival disease consists of several stages. Inflammation, which is caused by the reasons mentioned above and occurs in the gingiva, simply called “gingivitis”, is the first stage of gingival diseases. When the inflammation isn’t treated, the connective tissues between the teeth and jaw become inflamed. This is called “periodontitis”.
The most common gingival diseases can be listed as follows;
- Chronic Periodontitis
- Aggressive Periodontitis
- Gingival Abscess
- Periodontal Abscess
- Gingival Recession
Healthy gingiva are a feature that surrounds the teeth in pink and dusty rose colors. Bleeding, tenderness and pain do not occur. Although it is difficult to diagnose gingival disease in its early stages, the first symptom that can be seen on unhealthy gingiva is bleeding that occurs when brushing or flossing teeth. However, the following symptoms are also a harbinger of gingival disease;
- Redness of the gingiva
- Swollen gingiva
- Bad breath
- Shrinking gingiva
- Sensitivity in teeth
- Loosening and loss of teeth
- Toothache that develops during chewing
- The lower and upper jaws don’t fit on top of each other while biting.
