It is primarily caused by the accumulation of bacteria (dental plaque) around the teeth. This condition is generally reversible with a return to proper oral hygiene. At this stage, the gums appear red, swollen, slightly sensitive, and bleed easily. No bone loss or loss of support around the teeth is noted by the dentist or treating specialist.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If left untreated, gingivitis progresses to periodontitis. The bacteria (dental plaque) slip under the gum, forming \"pockets\" by detaching it from the surface of the teeth. Bone loss and loss of support around the teeth are noted during the periodontal examination. This condition is irreversible; at this stage, the damage can only be managed. If left uncontrolled, periodontitis can lead to the loss of one or more teeth.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n      \n          \n    \t  \n              <a href=\"#\" class=\"uc_btn uc_more_btn\" > <\/a>\n                        \n      <\/div> \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"#ue-tab2\" class=\"uc_ac_box elementor-repeater-item-de52167\" style=\"background-color:;\">\n  <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" class=\"uc-heading uc_trigger\" role=\"button\">\n    <span class=\"uc_dactive bbb ue_accordion_icon\"><i class='fas fa-plus'><\/i><\/span> \n    <span class=\"uc_active bbb ue_accordion_icon\"><i class='fas fa-minus'><\/i><\/span>\n    <div class=\"ue_heading_title\">What are the signs and symptoms of periodontitis?<\/div>\n  <\/a>\n  \n  <div class=\"uc_content\" >\n        \n      \n         \n                      \n            <div class=\"ue-item-title\"><\/div>\n      \n              <div class=\"ue-item-text\"><div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"><div class=\"section\"><div class=\"layoutArea\"><div class=\"column\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though periodontitis often presents without symptoms, the following signs may indicate the need to consult your treating dentist or a periodontal specialist:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Red, swollen, and sensitive gums<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bleeding gums when using dental floss, brushing, or chewing<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Receding gums that make teeth appear longer<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loose teeth<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spaces opening up between teeth<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Presence of pus at the gums or at the junction of the gums and teeth<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bad breath<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A change in the comfort of your teeth when biting together<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A change in the comfort of your dentures when inserting them<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n      \n          \n    \t  \n              <a href=\"#\" class=\"uc_btn uc_more_btn\" > <\/a>\n                        \n      <\/div> \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"#ue-tab3\" class=\"uc_ac_box elementor-repeater-item-b906326\" style=\"background-color:;\">\n  <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" class=\"uc-heading uc_trigger\" role=\"button\">\n    <span class=\"uc_dactive bbb ue_accordion_icon\"><i class='fas fa-plus'><\/i><\/span> \n    <span class=\"uc_active bbb ue_accordion_icon\"><i class='fas fa-minus'><\/i><\/span>\n    <div class=\"ue_heading_title\">Who should I consult if I have periodontitis?<\/div>\n  <\/a>\n  \n  <div class=\"uc_content\" >\n        \n      \n         \n                      \n            <div class=\"ue-item-title\"><\/div>\n      \n              <div class=\"ue-item-text\"><div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"><div class=\"section\"><div class=\"layoutArea\"><div class=\"column\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It depends on the severity and extent of your condition.

For individuals with risk factors (smoker, family history of periodontitis), it's advisable to minimize contact with saliva by not sharing beverages or toothbrushes. Note that the presence of these bacteria alone will not cause the disease. Several criteria must be met for this to occur, including a predisposition in the individual to develop this condition.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n      \n          \n    \t  \n              <a href=\"#\" class=\"uc_btn uc_more_btn\" > <\/a>\n                        \n      <\/div> \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"#ue-tab5\" class=\"uc_ac_box elementor-repeater-item-ca01727\" style=\"background-color:;\">\n  <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" class=\"uc-heading uc_trigger\" role=\"button\">\n    <span class=\"uc_dactive bbb ue_accordion_icon\"><i class='fas fa-plus'><\/i><\/span> \n    <span class=\"uc_active bbb ue_accordion_icon\"><i class='fas fa-minus'><\/i><\/span>\n    <div class=\"ue_heading_title\">Do we need a referral to book a consultation at your office?<\/div>\n  <\/a>\n  \n  <div class=\"uc_content\" >\n        \n      \n         \n                      \n            <div class=\"ue-item-title\"><\/div>\n      \n              <div class=\"ue-item-text\"><div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"><div class=\"section\"><div class=\"layoutArea\"><div class=\"column\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is preferable that you be referred to our team through your treating dentist or dental specialist, as they will send us a request indicating the reason for your consultation and possibly relevant radiographs related to your visit.
