Healthy gums are pale pink and they do not bleed. In the first phase of the condition, bacteria gathered on teeth surface cause gingivitis whose symptoms are: reddening, swelling and bleeding. If the deposit (bacterial plate) remains, dental scale is growing and it destroys the periosteum and the bone. Then the periodontal pocket appears and it can be filled with purulent exudation. The next stage is irreversible and it is the vast parodontium and bone decline. The tooth becomes unstable and the gums bleed at slightest touch. Patient's breath smells unpleasant.
Periodontitis symptoms:
The only certain warning signal of gum diseases a patient can recognize is gum bleeding while brushing. Healthy gums do not bleed!!! So, if regular and noticeable bleeding is observed at each teeth-brushing, the gum inflammation or periodontitis is signaled and it must be treated. Deep pockets, located near teeth, can be responsible for the unpleasant smell of patient's breath so whenever the symptom is noticed, the parodontium shall be examined. The smell is made by the pockets dwelling bacteria which do not stop producing slight rot-like smelling gases as a result of which the periodontitis typical mouth stench appears. In such cases, mouth rinsing solution used for its fighting does not prove most effective as its results shall last very short. The systematic treatment of periodontitis is the only way to fight the bacteria and reduce the bad smelling gas production in the focuses of inflammation.
