General Health Information

Common dental problems always tend to get worse when treatment is
avoided and this is no exception because “acute necrotizing ulcerative
gingivitis” may follow, and it has more severe and painful symptoms,
including: appearance of sores on the gingival tissue, gums very sore
to the touch, bleeding far more common than with normal gingivitis, a
gray film will appear on teeth and gums, and a severe bad breath never
seems to go away even after brushing, flossing, or the use of
mouthwash. Unfortunately, necrotizing gingivitis will worsen and evolve
into advanced periodontal disease if treatment is not undertaken
immediately. and can also cause the teeth to fall out and may lead to
even more serious medical problems, such as: significant increase in
chances for developing coronary artery disease, increased chances of
stroke, infective Endocarditis, and reduced ability to fight off simple
infections and viruses. Attentive treatment procedures are the only way
to stop the infection caused by the bacteria. Procedures used in the
treatment of advanced periodontal disease
include: pocket Reduction, regeneration procedures to replace the
destroyed gingival and bone tissue, crown lengthening, and soft tissue
graft. In most cases, however, you can avoid the serious consequences
related to severe periodontal disease by practicing good oral hygiene
and making sure to see your dentist for regular check-ups.
