gum infections are of two types , the gingivitis and te
periodontitis, the gingivitis is the mere inflammation of the gum, it is mostly
characterized by a swollen, bleeding and red gum while a periodontitis , it is usually
characterized by a cavity or a tooth decay. the first can be reversed by maintaining a good oral hygiene, good nutrition and regular flossing and the use of antibacterial mouthwash.
how to tell if your gums are healthy
To tell if your gum
are health here are some of the things to look into
A healthy gum is a
gum free from all gum diseases, what are these gum diseases , they are gingivitis, periodontal diseases ,
a healthy gum is a gum free from the
symptoms of any of the above diseases,
your teeth gums can only be said to be
healthy if they are free from any of the following
1. Bleeding: if your gum is not bleeding, when you do not
see blood when your spit out saliva or when you brush your teeth, then you have
a healthy gum, people suffering from bleeding gum will see blood when they
are brushing their teeth.
2. Swollen gum; this is when a gum appear
reddish and swollen, a swollen gum is different the rest of the gum, a swollen
gum appear different the rest of the

3. A reddish gum, a unhealthy gum will
usually have a destroyed blood vessels
by bacteria, a reddish gum is usually swollen and painful, symptom of gingivitis.
4. Receding gum: when you have a receding

the bacteria,
5. Smelly mouth: when you have a smelly mouth it is a big sign
that you have bacteria in your mouth, this bacteria are known to cause a
diseases can gingivitis, a gum infection resulting to loss of the strength of
your teeth gums.
When you don’t have
a reddish, swollen , receding or bleeding gum, we can say that you are having a
healthy gum, whereas when you have any of the of the above , they you have an
unhealthy gums.

Gingivitis is the swollen of the gums , reddening
and bleeding of the gum, it cause by the presence of periodontal bacteria in
the mouth, it is one of the early symptoms of periodontitis. It can also be caused to loss in the body
immunity or sudden lose of weight.
The fasted
way to get rid of gingivitis is to follow the steps I am about to outline
1. The
first method is to apply pressure to the swollen, reddish or bleeding gum ,
when you apply a pressure to the
bleeding gum, the applied pressure get rid of contaminated blood
in your gums, the bacteria and refreshes the gum, it may be painful but it
worth doing it
2. The next step is to use saline water, mix a
highly concentrated salt solution, 3
teaspoonful of salt in water in a small glass of water, preferable a warm
water, put the saline water in your
mouth for like ten minutes and rinse your mouth,
3. It may be painful, because but it worth doing
it, the highly concentrated salt
solution will dehydrate the bacteria, when this bacteria are dehydrated, they
will eventually die and remove from your mouth the next time you brush your
teeth.
4. The
next step is to keep the oral hygiene rule, brush your mouth twice
daily, in the morning before eating anything or after, before going to bed.
5. Use
anti-bacterial toothpaste: research shows that antibacterial toothpaste are 40%
more effective in getting rid of bacteria from the mouth than normal toothpaste.
how long does it take for gingivitis to turn into periodontitis
Periodontitis can be aid to be advance state of
gingivitis or worst still the deteriorated state of gingivitis, periodontitis is when the gum decay result to lost of tooth or permanent
damage to the tissue of the teeth, when there is an irreversible damage to the
gum tissues then the condition is said to be periodontitis.
Gingivitis
can turn to periodontitis within 2 to 6 month depending on the many factors.
The time take
for a mere swellings, redness and gum bleeding to turn to periodontitis can vary depending on the body immunity of
the patient and the state of the hygiene of the patient,
A patient
with strong body immunity can fight Back
the bacteria causing the gingivitis , the activities of this bacteria is slowerred
and so their effect, our blood have antibodies and antigens , when this are
available in enough quantity , attacks by foreign bodies is minimal.
Whereas a
body with low immunity can cause several immunity lack , the above defense and
bacteria continue with their activities.
The state of
the hygiene of the patient, a gingivitis patient who maintain a good oral
hygiene, regular brushing of the teeth . expelling these bacteria daily can stop the gingivitis before it
deteriorate into periodontal diseases. A patient with poor oral hygiene on the
other hand is exposed to much more periodontal disease causing bacteria.
how do i know if my gingivitis is getting better
Your
gingivitis can only be said to be getting better if one of the following occurs
1. You
don’t have a chewing problem: if after undergoing a series of gingivitis
treatment and founds that you can now chew comfortably without any problem ,
then it is a good sign that your gingivitis is going
2. No
more sensitive tooth: a sensitive tooth , is the a tooth that gives you a sharp
pain when you bite food using it, do you twinge when you eat or drink from one side of your mouth, if this feeling
is still persistent then your gingivitis
still have long way to go.
3. Bleeding
gums: when you no longer see blood when you
brush your teeth or spit out saliva in the morning, then your gum is healing and it is getting
better.
4. Swollen
gums: when your swollen gums disappeared and you are left with a beautiful gum
, then probably your tooth and gum problem is healing.
5. Painful gum: do you still feel pain when you use your
finger to torch your gum, painful gum is one of sign of gingivitis, when you no longer feel that pain then your teeth
and gum infection is almost over.
6. When
that bad mouth foul odour is absent: when you no longer have that foul mouth odour that you are known for
, it is a sign that the bacteria in your gum are inactive and not multiplying.
7. No
more receding gums: a receding gum is when you open your mouth and some teeth
appear longer than the others due to damages to these gums by bacteria, when
this disappear and your teeth look all same size.
how long does it take for gingivitis to go away
To completely get rid of all gum
diseases symptoms it can take some time, it will
take from 10 days , 2 week or even a
month, note that the gum deterioration did not happen I a day, it take time and so also for it to return back to the
normal state it will have to take some times.
To treat a gingivitis, a the bacteria causing
the infection need to be stopped, their niche need to destroyed ,t they have to
be starved or dehydrated, the tissue destroyed has to be rebuilt.
The time taken For gingivitis to be fully recovered , some the following factors
·
The state of patients body immunity
·
The kind of treatment given
·
And the general body hygiene of the patient
A patient with a low
body immunity lack the effective mechanism to combat infection, therefore it
will take a longer time for the all the symptoms of gingivitis to be completely
out, whereas a person with a very strong body immunity can be healed in the
possible shortest time.
There are different treatment to gingivitis, some takes a shorter time
while other take a longer time , how fast the gingivitis cure depend on the
treatment you chose
The state of the patient oral hygiene is very
important,
how to get rid of periodontal disease
Periodontal diseases is
the advanced stage of gingivitis, a gum infection characterized with the swellings, bleedings and redness of the
gum.
Gingivitis can be prevented or reversed with
good oral hygiene ,regular flossing or professional cleaning.
But when the above is not made. The condition will change to a
more severe gum and tooth infection called the periodontitis, periodontitis is
the a severe case, it affect the bones and ligament that hold the tooth, periodontitis
will eventually result to a loss tooth.
Periodontitis can be treated surgically or
non-surgically, this method involve the removal of tartar and plaque from your
teeth and gums, a plaque is niche for
bacteria while a tartar is destruction causes and acids/excreters deposited by the bacteria on the teeth and
the gums. After this the dentist will soothes away all roughness on the area to
prevent the building-up of other
bacteria, this method is called scaling
and root planning (SRP).
Gum grafting
The next method of treating periodontitis s
gum grafting, this the implanting of gum graft on the surface of an exposed
teeth roots. This gum graft is removed
from the palate or the part of the patient body or other sources.
Building-up a new bone: this is a method of
re-growing a lost tooth. A dentist or periodontist will place a plastic or natural bone and a protein to aid your body to regrow
bone and tissue. This is done after the removal of plaques and tartars.
Above all the next step
and most important it keeping to oral health, anything to prevent the
rebuilding of bacteria should be implemented.
Regular teeth brushing and flossing from time to time.
what are the main features that differentiate periodontitis from gingivitis
Gingivitis and periodontitis
a diseases of the gum are all cause by bacteria
that build-up around the teeth and the gums.
The following are the most common difference
between gingivitis and periodontitis,
Gingivitis is
caused by the presence of bacteria in
the teeth and gum part of the mouth, this result to swellings, redness and gum
bleeding. While periodontitis is the advances stage of gingivitis,
Gingivitis can be reversed with a good oral
hygiene , daily brushing of the teeth and flossing while periodontitis cannot be reversed it posses a permanent
damages to the tooth and gum and can only be treated surgically.
Gingivitis affects the gums of the teeth only
while periodontitis affects the ligament and bone supporting the teeth.
Periodontitis an lead
to tooth loss while periodontitis cannot lead to tooth lose.
Gingivitis causes a
mild pain compared to periodontitis which posses great pain.
can advanced periodontal disease be reversed
Periodontal diseases
cannot be reversed at the severe or advanced stage, note that a periodontal
diseases has two stages, the gingivitis
which is just the inflammation, swellings and bleeding of gums of the
teeth as a result of the reaction of the body ot the presence of periodontal
bacteria and a periodontitis which is the severe case of gingivitis,
periodontitis involve the loss of bones and ligaments that give support to the
teeth.
A periodontal diseases at the stage of gingivitis
which is just a mere inflammation of the gum, swellings, bleeding and mild
pain. Can be reversed with a good oral hygiene
, regular brushing of the teeth can
remove all the bacteria causing more infection and more.
Whereas
a periodontal diseases that reach to the level of tooth loss, a decay in the bone supporting the tooth or
the formation of cavities cannot be reversed.
This is when the damages caused by these bacteria spread down below the gums
and along the roots of the teeth, causing destruction of the periodontal
ligament and the supporting bone. This will result to chronic inflammation
causing the bone of the jaw to be destroyed and the teeth to be lost.
Is periodontal disease reversible in dogs?
Periodontal diseases
are gum and tooth diseases cause by the presence periodontal bacteria, it is a diseases affecting the gum, tooth and
the ligament and tissues that hold the teeth.
Periodontal diseases are of two types, they
the gingivitis and the periodontitis.
A gingivitis only affect the gum of the
teeth, it is characterized by swellings, redness and bleeding, it happen when there
is poor oral hygiene or drop in the body immunity.
Whereas periodontitis
is the gum and teeth infection that involve the receding of the gum, the destruction of the ligament and the loss of
the bone that connect the tooth and the other body part.
Gingivitis can be reversed be reversed with a good hygiene whereas
periodontitis that cannot be reversed unless after a surgery.
In dogs the most common cause of gingivitis is the
presence of canine bacteria and poor nutrition.
Gingivitis in dogs can be reversed whereas periodontitis
cannot be reversed. Or in other word the early stage of periodontal disease can
be reversed whereas a severe case can
caused periodontal diseases
There is no much difference between gum
infection in human and in dogs, all are caused by the presence of bacteria, the
only advantage human have over animals, is when a good oral hygiene can be
maintained, like a regular flossing,
daily teeth brushing etc.
