The tissues surrounding the teeth in every person are formed by the combination of hard and soft structures. In addition, these tissues are in a very important position for dental and oral health. As such, oral and dental health becomes a direct relationship with people's general body health.
What are Periodontal Diseases?
Inflammation of the soft tissues of the gums is called gingivitis. However, if the inflammation progresses further and enters the process of spreading to the bone tissue in the lower part, this situation causes bone destruction. In such a case, the name of the disease appears as periodontitis. Both diseases that we have mentioned are called periodontal diseases.
Generally speaking, periodontal diseases can be controlled by stopping most of the time. However, the effort of the dentist alone is not enough to stop the disease. The patient should also help the dentist in this process and take care of mouth, teeth and gum care. The important thing in periodontal diseases is to destroy the bacteria in the mouth. Because the main cause of the emergence of diseases is bacteria.
