It is caused most often by the build-up of plaque and tartar when teeth are not routinely brushed and flossed.<\/p>\n<p>There are two major stages of periodontal disease: gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis affects only the gums. It is a mild form of gum disease, and if properly treated, may be reversed. Left untreated, gingivitis turns into periodontitis. During this more destructive disease stage, bacteria penetrate into the deeper pockets of tissue where bone and membrane support your teeth. Periodontitis can lead to tooth loss and serious health problems.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1651&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;What is a periodontist?&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%234c4c4c&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1540425813758{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]Periodontists are qualified dentists who have an additional three years of education and specialized training in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gum disease.

We will also need to take x-rays to determine the amount of supporting bone that has become affected by gum disease. Commonly you will also be referred for an OPG (orthopantomagram), this will give us a comprehensive overview of your teeth, bone levels and jaw joint.<\/p>\n<p>A small measuring tool, called a periodontal probe, allows us to identify what areas bleed easily or have receded and to measure the depth of the gum pockets alongside the tooth.

Gum disease is a chronic illness. It is only reversible in the earliest stage (gingivitis). Once it advances, it needs to be managed regularly just like diabetes or any other chronic disease.<\/p>\n<p>There are a variety of treatments depending on the progression of the infection. The most common is frequently referred to as a \u201cdeep cleaning.\u201d This is scaling and root planing procedure that removes plaque from the tooth surfaces below the gum line (scaling) and smooths rough spots on the tooth roots (planing). This procedure removes the bacteria and creates a smooth surface for the gums to reattach to the tooth. In some cases, the specialist in\u00a0periodontics in Panama may also use antibiotics.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Request your appointment with a specialist in periodontics in Panama:&#8221;
