What are the Symptoms of Periodontal Disease?
Bleeding Gums
Typically, healthy gums don’t hurt & healthy gums don’t bleed. Bleeding gums could very well be an early sign of gum disease.
Receding Gums
If left untreated, gum disease can cause gum recession and tooth loss. At this point, brushing alone will not treat the condition. Damage is irreversible & will require treatment.
Swollen Gums
Red or swollen gums can be caused by plaque buildup between your teeth and gums and are a symptom of gingivitis, an early form of gum disease. It’s important to act quickly.
Tooth Loss
When gingivitis progresses to periodontitis, the gum support of your tetth can be weakend by plaque buildup hardening and turining into tartar.
Bad Breath
Not only can bad breath be embarrasing it can also be a asign of gum disease. The buildup of food and dental bacterial plaque on th teeth and tongue can irritate gums and lead to bad breath.
3 Mechanisms & Bacterial Invasion
-
Everyday an onslaught of pathogenic bacteria occurs from food & other sources.
-
Plaque & Calculus physically damage the gums, facilitate pathogen nesting & propagation.
-
The Host immune systems become compromised. The diseases turns into a chronic state leading to progressive irreversible damage.
Mechanisms are Novel & Non-Toxic
Daily Pathogen Inhibition:
Inhibits a critical biological function in pathogen, which deters adherence, nesting, & migration beneath gum line.
In turn, blocks unwanted pathogen activities & assault on tissue & immune system.
Immune System Realignment:
Resolves adverse inflammatory factors & moderates host periodontal immune system in a favorable manner.
In time, realigns host immune system to normality, causing host to repair & restore tissue integrity.
