But it can also negatively affect your self-esteem. That\u2019s because periodontitis creates gaps between your teeth, making them look longer. Teeth may also come loose and patients often suffer from bad breath.<\/p>\n

When gingivitis is left unchecked, plaque containing bacteria collects in the space between your teeth and gums. If this plaque isn\u2019t removed daily, it hardens as it comes in contact with minerals in your saliva. Over time, it turns into tartar. Tartar eventually destroys the connective tissue that secures your tooth to the bone.<\/p>\n

In some cases, you can\u2019t remove the tartar under your gums with a regular scaling treatment. More in-depth cleaning is required. Curettage is used to plane the root, stabilize the disease and leave behind healthy connective gingival tissue.<\/p>\n

Sometimes periodontal disease is caused by functional abnormalities such as unusual swallowing, tongue thrusting or tooth grinding. That\u2019s why your dental practitioner will perform a complete periodontal assessment, measure your periodontal pockets and determine what\u2019s causing the condition.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1658924485501{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”right-part-txt”]The steps that follow include:<\/p>\n
