Are you suffering from gingivitis? Then you should urgently see a dentist. Your dental problem may be periodontitis. In the worst case, all elements of your periodontal ligament may be affected.
Since periodontitis can lead to irreversible damage and the associated inflammation can have massive consequences for your health, good prevention is better than aftercare. In today's blog post, we explain what you should look out for and how you can best prevent periodontitis.
Periodontitis, the gateway to many other diseases
Periodontal disease can cause massive damage and can even lead to you losing your teeth. The harmful bacteria can also spread throughout your body via the bloodstream. Your organism is damaged, which also increases the risk of subsequent illnesses such as stroke, heart attack or diabetes.
The harmful bacteria that settle in your mouth can cause your teeth to become loose. The result is that your teeth become loose. If you do not get this type of dental disease treated, you will have problems chewing. If you notice a bad taste in your mouth, especially when you wake up in the morning, you should make an appointment with a dentist as soon as possible.
Periodontitis promotes many other diseases
Did you know that untreated periodontitis increases your risk of diabetes mellitus? This is a type of diabetes that initially has barely noticeable symptoms. However, if your elevated blood sugar levels remain undetected for a longer period of time, they lead to circulatory problems and damage your blood vessels. Gingivitis is linked to various heart and vascular diseases. This is another important reason not to take periodontitis lightly.
How can you avoid periodontitis?
Through regular dental visits and thorough cleaning of your teeth with our emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush you can prevent and even avoid periodontitis. As with many other diseases, prevention is better than cure.
As already mentioned, periodontitis can have serious consequences for you and your health. It can only be avoided by taking good care of your teeth and the spaces between your teeth.
The best way to brush your teeth is with our electric emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush. In combination with dental floss or a mouthwash, you can even optimise the brushing result. If you have already developed periodontitis, you can have your dentist carry out a special periodontal treatment. He will try to preserve your affected teeth.
