Hello my steemian friends,

This is my participation in the contest” Gum Diseases - ContestBy @helengutier2 in Healthy Steem

🦷1.- Do you know what is periodontal disease?

Yes, periodontal disease is a serious disease of teeth and gums which has become very common, and can happen to all those people who do not monitor their dentures regularly.

It is a bacterial infection that occurs due to poor brushing and not flossing.

Mostly this disease starts with redness of our gums, swelling and bleeding in the gums.

If we do not treat it on time, then this disease can spread to the bone around the gums. And our teeth can become loose and fall out.

This disease can cause a very bad smell in our breath, and people around us can get upset with our bad smell.

Dentists say that diabetes, heart disease and pregnancy related complications can also increase.

🦷2.- Write some causes of periodontal disease

As I said, periodontal disease is an infection of the substances that accumulate in the empty spaces of your teeth.

It is usually caused by poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque – a sticky layer from our food – to accumulate and harden on the teeth.

This disease begins with swollen gums, red gums, and bleeding gums.

This disease is the inflammation and infection of the gums and the bone that supports the teeth.

Its main cause is poor hygiene habits.

🦷3.- Can you tell us how periodontal disease is classified?

We can divide this disease into four parts

Like first of all, our gums start swelling.

If we do not pay attention to the swelling of the gums, then bleeding from the gums can occur It can start.

After this, one of our teeth may become loose from the gums and fall off.

And if we are still careless, then all the teeth may start falling off one by one.

🦷4.- How can we prevent periodontal disease?

To avoid this disease, we should brush our teeth carefully at least twice a day, taking some time for this and floss once a day.

Floss is a waxed thread which is used to clean the spaces between the teeth.

We should use fluoride mouthwash, it helps in preventing this disease. We should get our teeth cleaned by a skilled dentist at least once or twice a year.

Most cases of periodontal disease can be treated with tooth cleaning and good hygiene at home. Only in severe cases, we may need antibiotics or even surgery by a skilled dentist.

This disease can also affect the canals supplying our teeth, and we may have to undergo root canal treatment.

Note: All this information is based on a conversation with an MDS [Masters of Dental Surgery] doctor from my city.

Thanks for reading my post, I pray to God for the progress and happy future of all Steemians.
