Signs and symptoms
• Occasional redness;
• Bleeding gums while brushing teeth, flossing or biting
into hard food;
• Occasional swellings;
• Bad breath and a persistent metallic taste in the mouth;
• Gingival recession, resulting in apparent lengthening of
teeth;
• Deep pockets between the teeth and the gums.

help….the bacterial……and formation of
subgingival…..and calculus;
• Flossing daily and using…..brushes, as well as
…..behind the last tooth in each quarter;
• Using an …….mouthwash.
Treatment
• Dacă pacientul nu urmează o igienă orală
corespunzătoare în fiecare zi, atunci el ar trebui să
înceapă printr-un periaj de două ori pe zi, folosirea aţei
dentare şi a apei de gură, în mod obligatoriu.
• Persoanele în vârstă, dar şi cei care au spaţii mari între
dinţi, vor trebui să folosească periuţe interdentare.
• Doar dentistul foloseşte instrumente profesionale pentru
a îndepărta placa bacteriană şi calculul din jurul dinţilor
şi sub linia gingiei.
Prognosis
• Dentists measure periodontal disease using a device
called a periodontal probe. This is a thin ‘measuring
stick’ that is gently placed into the space between gums
and teeth, and slipped below the gum line.
• If there is a pocket which is deeper than 3 mm around
the tooth, home care will not be sufficient to cleanse it,
and professional care should be sought.
• When the pocket depths reach 5-7mm, even the
dentist’s instruments cannot reach deeply enough to
clean out the bacterial palque.
