What are the symptoms of periodontitis?
If you want to save your teeth you must know how to recognize the initial symptoms of periodontitis.
Periodontitis, also known as pyorrhea, is a silent enemy
The early signs of periodontal disease often cause no pain and may go unnoticed.
However, it is vital to be aware of these early symptoms because the disease can progress subtly and lead to serious consequences, such as tooth loss, if not treated promptly.
HOW CAN YOU KNOW YOU HAVE PERIODONTITIS? THE INITIAL SYMPTOMS
- Gum bleeding: not only when chewing or brushing your teeth, but also for no apparent reason.
- Persistent halitosis: bad breath that persists over time.
- Swollen and red gums: signs of inflammation and the body’s reaction.
- Ritrazione delle gengive: le gengive si ritirano, esponendo la radice del dente.
- Retraction of the gums: The gums recede, exposing the root of the tooth.
- Tooth Mobility: Teeth can become loose due to loss of bone support.
- Dental sensitivity: painful sensations to heat or cold, a sign of damage to the teeth.
NONE OF THE SYMPTOMS OF PERIODONTITIS SHOULD BE IGNORED!
Ignoring even the slightest sign could trigger a cycle of disease progression, leading to an advanced stage where tooth loss becomes a sad reality.
Furthermore, let’s not forget that pyorrhea doesn’t just affect the mouth: it can have repercussions on general health, increasing the risk of systemic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
