The dental term for inflammation of the gums that does not affect the ligaments and does not destroy the bone is gingivitis. Treatment of the disease is not difficult, but if it is neglected, the inflammation will move to the ligamentous apparatus and begin to destroy the bone. This is already periodontitis - the main complication of gingivitis. Therefore, it is important to know the signs and symptoms of the disease in order to take measures in time and prevent complications.

The inflammatory process in the gums provokes bacteria. After each meal, the enamel is covered with a microfilm - pellicle. Unlike smooth enamel, pellicle is porous. Bacteria begin to settle on the film. Some of them are washed off with saliva and brushed off with a toothbrush. But it is impossible to completely remove plaque with a toothbrush. Calcium and a number of other substances from saliva penetrate the plaque and mineralize it. More and more bacteria settle on …

Dentists never tire of emphasizing how important it is to brush your teeth properly and do it regularly. In the oral cavity of every person lives a huge number of bacteria. The most active fluid in the body, saliva, neutralizes their action, but it is not able to destroy the bio-threat on its own. Brushing comes to the rescue.

We brush our teeth to remove from the enamel its main enemy - a biofilm of bacteria (plaque). Biofilm settles on your teeth after every meal. Sticky food fragments, mainly carbohydrates and sugar, help it do this. Layer by layer, the bacteria build up on the surface, producing acids.

Gradually, these acids eat away at the enamel and penetrate the tooth. This is how tooth decay, the most common dental disease, occurs.

If plaque is not removed, it builds up, hardens and becomes tartar. Then it gets under the gum, causing inflammation of the tissue around the tooth. This is periodontitis, the second most common oral disease. Citește mai mult

The gum is red, swollen, painful - these are classic signs of a tooth abscess, an inflammatory process in which pus is formed. Accumulating in the cavity, as in a pouch, pus causes swelling of the gum. In the people it is called flus.

Purulent inflammation can lead to serious consequences, so self-treatment, if the gum is swollen, you can not. Dentistry will determine the cause of the abscess and carry out specific treatment.

With weakened immunity, as a result of trauma or infectious diseases of the teeth, pathogens penetrate into the tissues surrounding the tooth (periodontium). In response, the body produces special cells, neutrophils. They neutralize pathogens, but die themselves. Pus is the remains of dead cells, destroyed proteins of bacteria and neutrophils.

In dentistry, 3 types of abscess are distinguished, depending on the cause of occurrence:

Tooth discoloration (discoloritis) changes the color of your teeth from relative white to pink, yellow, brown, or black. This is precisely the case when variety is not pleasing. Changing color can lead to psychological trauma, lower self-esteem, and the development of depression. In addition, discoloritis can be a symptom of a disease. Dentists define pigmentation as a pathological process and develop all new methods of its treatment.

Before proceeding to intervention, it is important to identify the cause of discoloritis. Without its elimination, all measures will have only temporary success.

All cases of discoloritis can be divided into 2 large groups: endogenous (congenital) and exogenous (acquired). In the first case, the color of the teeth is predetermined before they erup…
