Periodontics (treatment of gum)
Gingivitis:
The first sign of gum disease is an inflammation and bleeding in light brushing and using dental floss. The presence of plaque and bacteria that cause infection easily cured with a cleaning and better oral hygiene. Gingivitis is reversible.
Parondontite:
There are several levels to periodontal disease. When gingivitis is not treated, bacterial infection seeps between the teeth and gums and destruction of tissue supporting the teeth begins. The increases bleeding, pain and teeth also become mobile. The attachment loss caused by periodontitis is irreversible and leaves the dental roots exposed and sensitive. It is therefore very important to treat this disease as quickly as possible. The damage is much greater for smokers. In severe cases, it is common that we must extract teeth and replace them with prosthetics complete.
Gingival abscess:
A gum abscess is a localized infection between the tooth and gum. This is often due to the presence of tartar or food impaction in the gum. The mere clean by ultrasonic treatment should be sufficient, but antibiotics may be helpful.
Ulcers:
Some diseases or a simple injury can damage the gums or mouth and cause an ulcer. An ulcer can be very painful and takes about 2 weeks to heal. The best you can do is to rinse with water or saline used a cortisone cream topically to speed healing. Ulcers are multiple and repeated often a health problem.
Gingival graft:
The gums, defects or weakness of the gums may require a transplant of gum. There are 2 main techniques: a graft taken from the palace or the use of a band of human tissue treated and sterilized. The second technique is increasingly used and gives excellent results.
Others:
There are a lot of diseases and conditions related to the oral cavity, such as cancer of the mouth that is taking the lead. Ask your dentist, it is best placed to examine your mouth. It is therefore necessary today to make a more complete examination with panoramic radiography every year or five years, depending on your condition. This radiography allows us to examine almost all head and note any suspicious lesion you refer to the specialist as soon as possible. And once again we repeat smokers! You are the target!

To put some teeth at Halloween
Introduction
Halloween, it's true candy for children ... But it can also become a nightmare for teeth! All these sweets can cause cavities. It is therefore the ideal time to discuss with your family members care to bring his teeth.
Your mouth is the gateway to your body. Take care of your mouth and teeth helps prevent tooth decay, infections, gum disease, oral pain and tooth loss. This may even have a beneficial effect on your physical health.
If your gums bleed or are painful, if you feel the pain of teeth, if you suffer from chronic oral infections or other oral health problem, consult your dentist immediately. Studies have shown that there is a direct association between oral disease and other health problems such as diabetes, pneumonia, heart disease and stroke.
You can act in several ways to avoid problems mouth and that your teeth and gums remain healthy - as well as your entire body. Below you will find information on some dental problems and gum the most common, on methods used to ensure a healthy mouth and how to take care of your children's teeth.
Oral Diseases
Recognize and understand oral disease may help to prevent and to recognize when they occur. Like any other disease, screening and early treatment can achieve better results.
Caries
Sugar is one of the main causes of dental problems, which is why Halloween is so difficult for teeth! The sugar content in food is mixed with bacteria (germs) in the mouth to form a mild acid. The acid attacks the hard layer, external, of the tooth (the enamel), which, thereafter, softens. Therefore, a bunt is formed. A cavity is a hole that develops in the tooth when the enamel is damaged.
The damage that sugar causes depend on the amount of sugar in the mouth and the period of time where it remains. More often affects your sugar tooth, and the longer it stays there, the more damage it causes. That is why it is so important to brush his teeth and using dental floss regularly.
Untreated cavities may cause pain to the teeth and, eventually, cause them to fall. Young children may develop early childhood caries, which typically attacks the previous four teeth and which may cause pain and cause speech problems and braces. Both adults and children should have good dental hygiene and see a dentist regularly - especially if dental pain or mouth.
Gingivitis
Gingivitis is the first stage of a gum disease. Inflammation of the gums occurs when plaque - a thin, sticky substance that forms on teeth - appears.
If gingivitis is not treated, it can turn into gum disease. The gum disease is a disease that develops slowly. It is an inflammation of the gums, bones and tissues that surround and support the tooth. If left untreated, it can cause tooth loss.
You can prevent gingivitis and gum disease by brushing your teeth and gums to remove plaque. The plaque is not removed can turn into tartar and contribute to the development of a periodontist disease, a form of gum disease worse.
It is important to monitor your teeth and gums and see a dentist regularly. Gingivitis and gum disease are sometimes difficult to detect the early stages of development. Watch for these warning signs:
gums red, shiny, painful boursouflées or sensitive
pain in the gums,
bleeding when you brush your teeth or when you use dental floss.
persistent bad breath.
Bruxism
Bruxism is a condition that affects many adults and children; used to grind or bite the bullet. This can happen when one is asleep or awake - but many people are unaware they are affected when this occurs only during sleep. We do not know the exact causes of bruxism, although many experts believe that this is the result of psychological stress.
The signs and symptoms can range from mild to severe and irritating. They include:
sensitivity of the teeth, worn teeth, broken teeth and tooth loss,
Headaches, facial pain or cheeks,
noise caused by teeth grinding or snap sleeping.
There are many treatment options to treat bruxism - from night splints relaxation therapies - talk to your dentist for an evaluation of your condition and to discuss treatment options.
Oral cancer
The mouth and gums may be the place of occurrence of cancer, the abnormal growth of cells and their spread. The risk factors of contracting oral cancer include age, sex, diet, smoking and alcohol consumption:
Seniors over 50 are most at risk;
men are more likely to develop oral cancer than women;
a diet low in fruits and vegetables is a risk factor;
consumption of tobacco and alcohol increases the risk.
An oral cancer can be treated successfully if treated in time. Consult your dentist if you notice the warning signs include:
Mouth sores that do not heal after two weeks
red or white plates in the mouth,
lump on the lips, tongue or neck,

When you eat sweets, avoid those that stick to teeth and eat more sweets at mealtime and not as a snack. Brush your teeth every time you eat a sugar, or at least rinse your mouth with water or eat fruit containing fibers or vegetable raw. The objective here is to dilute and remove as much sugar as possible so that it does not stick to teeth.

Brush your child's teeth until he is old enough to write his name in letters attached. For more information on how to take care of her baby teeth, please visit the Dental Care for Children.
Use a very small amount of toothpaste - equivalent to the size of a pea - especially before the age of six. Children under three years should have their teeth brushed by an adult who uses a tiny amount of toothpaste. Use a fluoride toothpaste, but make sure your child does not swallow - swallow too much toothpaste in children can cause dental fluorosis. Please see the FAQ on fluoride CDA for their position on fluoride.
The ADC promotes dental control of infants by a dentist within six months after the appearance of her first teeth, or before the age of one year. A dental health check every six months to allow dentists to detect problems early, before they develop. Once all the teeth of the child exits, the dentist can determine whether there need to consult an orthodontist.
Sugar is the main cause of tooth decay, also limit the amount of sugar that your child eats. The sugar found naturally in many foods health, it is important to drink water with your child between meals and make sure their teeth are brushed at least twice a day - the evening is brushing particularly important.

The gingival graft can treat people suffering from gum disease
The gingival graft can treat people suffering from gum disease: gingival recession. This means they do not cover enough teeth.
A priori, it is not unusual but the consequences of this disease are not insignificant: unsightly appearance, significant pain, difficulty in washing their teeth properly. In the long term, teeth can even shoes and fall. It is quite normal because the gums have primary role to protect teeth.
Explanation
A tooth is attached to said alveolar bone. It is maintained right through a set of gums and ligaments surrounding the root of the tooth.
The gingival recession is a loss of tissue that covers the roots of the tooth. The gum back and gradually discovered the tooth. This affects both the upper teeth than the bottom.
As a result, the gums no longer have to protect the tooth. The sensitivity to cold, warm and sweet is exacerbated. The roots of the tooth are less stable. And the smile is less pretty.
The causes
Gingival recession may be linked to the fineness of the gum, which comes from genetics, trauma or the inflammation caused by plaque, for example.
An aggressive brushing can also lead to a recession. Therefore, we must brush up and down, for teeth top and bottom to top to the bottom. And not just making small circles or large trips, aggressive for the gums.
Treatment
One way to treat this disease and prevent its consequences is the Registry of gums. It has a very good performance, we get in effect a rate of 70% to 80% recovery roots.
Only limit the heavy smokers are not made because smoking increases the risk of failure.
The price of the operation varies between 500 and 1 000, not covered by Social Security.

Diabetes contributes in many ways the development of gum disease:
high blood sugar can damage small blood vessels of the gums, reducing the flow of blood and slows healing

Gum disease
Gum disease
You are going to be immunized against gum disease? Over 75% of people aged over 35 years in Canada have some form of gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. In fact, more than 10 billion dollars are spent each year to replace lost teeth due to gum disease, is the main cause of tooth loss in adults.
The most mild gum disease is gingivitis. Attacking the gums and tissues that support the tooth infection bactériale is not painful and very few symptoms, except that the gums are red, swollen and bleed easily.
Fortunately, gingivitis is easily cured with treatment your dentist and good oral care at home. If left untreated, the disease can worsen and cause all sorts of unpleasant complications, including tooth loss, respiratory diseases, heart disease and low birth weight.
How gum disease to develop? If you do not remove plaque, the colorless sticky coating that forms on your teeth every day, you brush your teeth and moving the floss, it hardens to form what is called tartar. Tartar builds up under the gums, increasing the risk of gum disease.
The bacteria contained in plaque produce toxins that irritate the gums and loose teeth. It creates pockets of which are filled with toxins and bacteria that eventually destroy the bone that holds the tooth in place. If they are not treated, the affected teeth will become loose and eventually fall, or they must be removed.

Bleeding gums is common
Bleeding gums is common, but it is not a normal phenomenon, however. The gums bleed because they are inflamed because of the presence of pathogenic bacteria in dental plaque. This requires that the teeth are completely clean to avoid inflammation.
The teeth should be brushed after every meal (at least in the morning and evening). For this we use a soft toothbrush (which contrary to what one might think is more effective than a toothbrush lasts). Brushing tjs is the gum around the tooth, inside and outside the jaws of top and bottom separately. Only the top teeth are brushed with a horizontal movement from front to back. Brushing should last at least 3 minutes.
If the gums bleed, do not stop brushing, because it is not brushing is responsible for the bleeding but the plaque. We must therefore continue to brush to remove all the plaque. The plaque could remain on the teeth eventually turn into tartar. It is a rough surface on which the new plaque adheres easily, that is why the removal is very important.
Pregnant women, the gums are more sensitive due to hormonal changes. But the bleeding is still tjs due to the presence of dental plaque. An effective brushing is usually sufficient to reduce inflammation. However, an inspection visit to the dentist is strongly recommended to detect any outbreak of infectious oral possible, which could be a pbe to the fetus.

Gum problems, tips and advice.
WHEN YOU MUST SEE YOUR DOCTOR?
• When your gums bleed and you also notice swelling, the swelling, pain or bad breath persists.
• When injuries occur under your dentures.
What show symptoms
We are not talking here of a peppermint stick, which loses its flavor too quickly, but problems with the essence of your smile, the color of coral tissues that hold your teeth. We speak, of course, your gums. Protect them or you will lose your teeth.
The problem of gum is the most common bleeding. It is a sign of inflammation, what dentists call gingivitis. Gingivitis is a precursor of a disease more serious trouble: periodontitis. Once the gum has reached this stage you can lose your teeth.
Gingivitis is caused by an accumulation of plaque that forms on teeth and gums. Plaque is a sediment of saliva and food full of bacteria. Anyone who regularly goes to his dentist knows it will suffer the effects of plaque if it does not brush or goes floss every day. However, other factors are involved in the problems of gum.
"This symptom is not sexist. Women are much more likely to suffer from gingivitis than men, said JoAnne Allen, DDS, a dentist in private practice in Albuquerque. During their rules, gums women are more swollen and sensitive, "she says. And their gums bleed more easily. This sensibilitté does not predispose women to gum disease, but the situation could worsen if other factors such as poor dental hygiene were present. "
Dr. Allen also points out that almost all women who become pregnant suffer from a temporary gingivitis accompanied by swelling and bleeding that gets worse as the pregnancy ends.
In fact, the baby could inherit the problem of birth of the gums of his father or mother. "The gum problems can be inherited, said Paul A. Stephens, DDS, a dentist in private practice in Gary, Indiana, and president of the Academy of General Dentistry. Some people accumulate little plaque on their teeth, while in others the accumulation is important. "
"Some medications can cause swelling or bleeding gums," said Eric Z. Shapira, DDS, director of the board of the Academy of General Dentistry and a dentist in private practice in Half Moon Bay, California. These include oral contraceptives, antidepressants, decongestants, antihistamines, nasal sprays and drugs against high blood pressure and heart disease.
In addition, gum problems are very common in people with diabetes and leukemia, as well as those who suffer from dry mouth, who smoke or who live under a great stress.
The last two categories, smokers and people under stress, are likely to suffer from ulcerative gingivitis, a disease common among soldiers of the First World War, also known as gingivitis ulcéronécrotique. People who suffer from this type of gingivitis have painful ulcers on the gums, bleeding and very bad breath.
Dentures that hurt
"The sores may appear on the gums if your dentures are not adjusted correctementou if the jaw bone was so damaged that it could not retain the prosthesis firmly in place. The injuries are not always painful, "said Samuel B. Low, DDS, assistant dean and director of graduate studies at the College of Dentistry at the University of Florida in Gainesville. This does not mean we should ignore them.
"These ulcers are a form of pressure atrophy. It's like if you wear a cast for months, the member would have duminué size, "he said. The surface of the gum is off and the bone beneath the gums resolves.
Symptom
Bleeding gums and injuries compared to most health problems if you make an early diagnosis, they are easy to regress. "Gingivitis is completely reversible if treated early enough," says Dr. Allen. To create the effect of regression on the gums bleed, you'll of floss and a good toothbrush. Also, be sure to properly keep your toothbrush.
Change the angle of your toothbrush. The best way to remove the plaque that accumulates at the intersection of teeth and gums is to use a toothbrush with soft bristles at an angle of 45 degrees when you brush your teeth. It is also moving slowly in a circular motion or saw.
This movement is also effective to remove plaque that has accumulated on the tooth itself.
Brush your daily. "Ideally, you should brush their teeth after every meal," says Bruce Pihlstrom, DDS, professor and director of the Research Center Dental Clinic at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. If this is impossible, make sure to brush at least once a day.
Use dental floss. "The way to use dental floss is to hold the wire, it is waxed or not, C-shaped around each tooth. Make sure to go slightly below the gum line, moving the floss back and front, from top to bottom, until the silk seems clean, "said Dr. Pihlstrom.
"The first time you use floss, your gums may bleed a little. Do not worry: floss produced some irritation in areas infected gingivitis, "he said.
Visit your dentist regularly. "Most people should have their teeth cleaned professionally every 6 months, although other people might want to visit their dentist more often," said Dr. Pihlstrom. They include candidates likely to be disease of the gums, particularly smokers and those with diabetes, those taking drugs that can affect the gums and that family history of gum disease.
Pregnant women more susceptible to gum disease should see their dentist for a cleaning at least 3 times during their pregnancy.
"You will regret if you do not see your dentist on a regular basis: those who expect more than 6 months between visits tend to eventually lose their teeth," says Dr. Allen.
Cases of severe gingivitis
Brushing, the use of dental floss and a biennial visit to the dentist is not effective if your gingivitis is severe or if it has progressed to a stage of periodontal disease. At this point, your dentist or hygienist must, through its equipment, remove the plaque that has hardened substance called plaque, which was located between the teeth and gums had deteriorated.
"The dentist will remove any calculation or dental plaque from the surface to the roots of the teeth, procedures for cleaning called scaling and abrasion. The procedure might require the use of a local anesthetic, "said DTihlstrom. "You may have to provide two or three visits to the dentist."
Consult a specialist. In a case of serious damage, your dentist may give you the name of a périodontiste, specialist of the mouth, gums and bone diseases. "The périodontiste will give you many options," says Dr. Pihlstrom, including bone grafts, repair and renovation of empty pockets parondontales, the restoration of the gum line.
False teeth
If you have lost your teeth and you take now or partial dentures, you should take care of your gums. Here's how.
Continue brushing. It does not dentures false teeth without reason. You must brush, which helps prevent gum disease. You also want to brush your gums and never keep your dentures all night. The gen-cives also need rest.
Get new prostheses. Dentures do not last a lifetime. "This is a serious mistake to think that your dentures will last forever", said Dr Low. When you lose your natural teeth, there is an erosion of the jawbone, which disturbs the adjustment of prostheses.
"Mal adjusted dentures can cause irritation, but people do not seem to react," he said. Your dentist should first check the adjustment of prostheses annually. Chances are that you will change your dentures almost every 5 years.

Gingival diseases
Gingival diseases
Gum disease are common among Canadian adults. However, a good dental hygiene can usually avoid this kind of problem. If we react quickly, you can prevent the disease to progress, even the overthrow of appropriate treatment.
Background
The gum disease can occur at any age. It often develops slowly and painlessly. If you remember, you already run the risk of losing teeth.
These are the gums and bone that hold teeth. The place where the gum sticks to the tooth, just below the edge of the gums, called the point of attachment. This is where the infection attack when plaque, a sticky white substance that contains bacteria (germs), forms on teeth and gums. The plaque is deposited every day in the teeth if we do not remove it with a toothbrush and floss, it hardens and forms tartar (or calculation).
Tartar resists brushing and flossing and can lead to chronic infection at the point of attachment. The surface is rough scale, therefore, in addition to irritate the gums, it can accelerate the accumulation of plaque.
Symptoms of gum disease
At the beginning of the disease, there is talk of gingivitis. The gums may be slightly red and bleed when you brush your teeth, but otherwise the symptoms may go unnoticed. At this point, we can still reverse the process with good dental hygiene. If left untreated, gingivitis can worsen and your gums may begin to bleed when you eat a food drive, like an apple.
As gingivitis progresses, an infection develops at the point of attachment and is accompanied by the following symptoms: swollen gums, traces of blood on the toothbrush, discoloration of gums. Nevertheless, it is possible that you feel no pain.
If left untreated, the infection can gradually destroy the gums, bones and connective tissues. You may notice swelling, bleeding or discoloration of the gum. Your teeth may become mobile and fall. It may be that you had to resolve to uproot them by a professional.
Fortunately, a professional can detect gum disease at the early signs and treat it. Using an instrument called a probe, your dentist can measure the distance between the gum and the point of attachment. If the attachment is not located just below the edge of the gums is a sign of gum disease. An X-ray will allow the professional to determine if bone loss around teeth and, if so, whether it can save the tooth or is out.
If gum disease is severe, your dentist may refer you to a periodontist. It specializes in treatment of gum disease and may prevent bone loss and loss of additional teeth or, in some cases, restore the bone and gum tissue destroyed.
Gingival diseases threaten the overall health
The health of your gums and your teeth is important for your overall health, your well-being and your appearance. In the most advanced stage, the gum disease can cause pain, abscesses, difficulty eating, bad breath and tooth loss.
There is a strong link between gum disease and diabetes. Diabetes is more likely to suffer from gum disease and this disease may affect the severity of diabetes, which increases the risk of diabetic complications later in life.
The bacteria that form plaque can lodge in the lungs where it can cause infection or aggravate existing lung disorders, especially among older adults. This can occur even if you do not suffer a severe gum disease, but you have a lot of plaque.
Researchers are trying to determine if pregnant women suffering from gum disease, including gingivitis, are more likely to give birth to premature babies and low weight. Even if the study continues, it remains important that pregnant women take care of their gums and their teeth.
Risk Factors
Here are some factors other than the plaque, which increases the risk of developing gum disease:
Smoking. Apart from the risk of serious illnesses, including cancer, lung disease and heart disease, smoking increases the risk of gum disease.
Hormonal changes. Women are particularly vulnerable to gum disease during hormonal changes, including puberty, menstruation, pregnancy and menopause.
Nutrition. A diet deficient can increase the risk of gum disease.
Medicines. Some medications may increase the risk of gum disease, including oral contraceptives, and hypotensive antiarthritiques.
Reducing Risks
The best way to keep your gums and teeth healthy is to care and to report regularly to the dentist.
Brush your teeth at least twice a day to remove plaque and move the floss once a day. An antimicrobial mouthwash can also be used in combination with brushing and daily use of dental floss to reduce bacterial film in your mouth. Brushing and flossing are more important if you already have gum disease.
Regularly examine your teeth and gums by a professional who will carry out cleaning to remove tartar.
Regularly check your gums and your teeth to detect symptoms of gum disease:
red and swollen gums
pain in the gums
Blood on the toothbrush or dental floss
Persistent bad breath
Mobile teeth
teeth that have shifted in a short period
If you have any of these symptoms, consult your dentist immediately.
Stop smoking. For information about programs and strategies to help you stop, see Find out more. You not only reduce the risk of gum disease, but also the many other diseases.
