It is a common oral health problem, but <strong>can lead to severe complications<\/strong>, including tooth loss, if not treated in time. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"599\" src=\"https:\/\/inodental.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Parodontoza-si-gingii-inflamate_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7965\" style=\"width:548px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inodental.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Parodontoza-si-gingii-inflamate_1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/inodental.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Parodontoza-si-gingii-inflamate_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inodental.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Parodontoza-si-gingii-inflamate_1-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms of periodontal disease<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Periodontal disease can be difficult to spot in the early stages, but as it progresses, clear symptoms appear. Among the most common signs and symptoms are: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bleeding gums<\/strong>, especially during brushing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inflammation and swollen gums<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gum recession<\/strong> that can expose the roots of your teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tooth pain or sensitivity<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Constant <strong>bad breath<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tooth mobility<\/strong> or even <strong>tooth<\/strong> loss in advanced cases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Statistics show that <strong>around 70% of adults over the age of 30<\/strong> suffer from some form of periodontal disease, and of these, <strong>30% are genetically predisposed<\/strong> to the condition.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Causes of periodontal disease<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Periodontal disease is mainly caused by plaque build-up. Plaque is a thin, sticky layer of bacteria that constantly builds up on teeth and gums. If not removed by regular brushing and flossing, it can lead to inflammation and infection.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Additional risk factors<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Smoking<\/strong> &#8211; smokers are <strong>twice as likely<\/strong> to develop periodontal disease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Diabetes<\/strong> &#8211; people with uncontrolled diabetes are more prone to gum infections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stress<\/strong> &#8211; can damage the immune system, making the body more vulnerable to infections, including oral infections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Poor oral care<\/strong> &#8211; lack of proper brushing and flossing can accelerate the onset of periodontal disease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do we prevent periodontal disease?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prevention is the key to maintaining long-term oral health. Here are some essential ways to prevent periodontal disease: <\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Brush correctly and regularly<\/strong> &#8211; Brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flossing<\/strong> &#8211; This helps remove plaque from hard-to-reach areas with a toothbrush.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regular dental check-ups<\/strong> &#8211; Regular dental check-ups are essential to prevent and treat any problems before they get worse. You can get a quick appointment <a href=\"https:\/\/inodental.drdigital.ro\/SolicitareProgramare\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stop smoking<\/strong> &#8211; Smoking is a major risk factor for periodontal disease. Reducing or eliminating the habit can significantly improve gum health. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Balanced diet<\/strong> &#8211; A diet rich in vitamins and minerals helps keep your gums and teeth healthy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment of periodontal disease<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Treatment depends on the severity of the condition. In early stages, <strong>a professional cleaning<\/strong> may be enough to stop the disease progressing. In more advanced cases, more complex interventions such as:  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Subgingival scaling and subgingival curettage<\/strong> &#8211; A deep cleaning method to remove plaque and tartar from under the gums.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Surgery<\/strong> &#8211; In severe cases, surgery may be needed to reduce periodontal pockets or repair damaged tissues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more details about the prices of these treatments, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inodental.ro\/en\/rates\/\">you can consult our complete price list<\/a><\/strong> from <strong>INO DENTAL<\/strong> clinic.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"343\" src=\"https:\/\/inodental.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/parodontitistherapie-1024x343.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7397\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inodental.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/parodontitistherapie-1024x343.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inodental.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/parodontitistherapie-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inodental.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/parodontitistherapie-768x257.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inodental.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/parodontitistherapie-1536x514.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/inodental.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/parodontitistherapie.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is so special INO DENTAL?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inodental.ro\/en\/about-us\/\">Trust and professionalism at INO DENTAL<\/a><\/strong> are the values that guide us in every treatment offered.
