About Periodontal Disease

Using a good dental regime and product can improve your periodontal health as well as everyday life. Honestly, it is not really that simple but it can definitely be a step in the right direction. Many people assume that regular brushing and occasional flossing are all there is to good dental hygiene, but that is only a start. Lack of education about periodontal disease can be one reason people are not understand the seriousness of these dental problems.

Bacteria naturally occur and actually thrive in the warm moist environment of the mouth. These bacteria are the primary culprit of the dreaded "halitosis" or bad breath. Bad breath, while it may be offensive to others is really a symptom of what may lead to more serious health concerns such as gingivitis or periodontal disease. To combat the bacteria that cause halitosis, gingivitis, and periodontal disease, a person needs to take every precaution available. Brushing, flossing, and using a good oral product will result in fresh breath and a pain free visit to the dentist.

It is not only important to maintain good oral hygiene for your personal life, it is important for your physical health as well. Poor oral hygiene causes infection that easily penetrates the sensitive lining of the mouth and gums and into your bloodstream. Left untreated, infections can lead to serious medical problems such as heart attack, stroke, and diabetes.

If these conditions seem to far fetched, consider how you will look as advanced periodontal disease sets in and your teeth begin to fall out. These conditions can easily be prevented by using good oral hygiene. Good oral hygiene consists of a few basic steps and precautions. Everyone should:

• Brush and floss regularly
• Use OraMD® with every brushing
• Maintain a proper diet
• See a dentist twice a year

Visiting the dentist is associated with a painful experience by many people and the leading cause is tooth sensitivity and tender gums. These are typically signs that tartar has began to build up on the teeth which provide a nice comfortable place for bacteria to hide and grow. As the bacteria grow, it finds new and better places to feed, deep under the gums. Bacteria causes the gums to recede and form pockets which only provide a place for more bacteria to live. These are some basic examples of why it is so important to educate youself about periodontal disease.
