In 1950, Crest launched the advertising campaign that patients should the dentist every six months to clean their teeth. This was determined by the Department advertising dentists or research. Here we are more than 50 years later, except that we now know much more about the effects of bacteria between the gums and teeth in our oral health and systemic health. In the 1950s, the average of 60 years only has 8 teeth left, most had previously dentures. We now know that the bacteria under the gum makes us a higher risk of heart disease, respiratory disease and babies with low birth weight in pregnant women. We also know that the bacteria on the reforms of the rubber within 24 hours and the deadly bacteria under the gum reforms in two months after it is removed. Once the bacteria had the chance to take root under the gum for a while, she is a “biofilm” layer in the connective tissue that is very hard to remove mold, it is a “mid-life” bacteria in our tissues. We also know that these bacteria found in the saliva exchange can be transmitted between people, so it is not flossing is not the only problem. This bacterium does not cause pain, so that our parents have their teeth to gum diseases that we can not see or feel lost. has found, even if we treat science in the dental office live bacteria in the soil of the gums in the “biofilm” that can not be easily removed, but must be removed again. Also this is not always successful, but once again help us to science, and now we have taken DNA tests on the sample bacteria between the teeth. This allows us, more aggressive strains of bacteria require the specific local and systemic antibiotics could be seen. The first stage is gingivitis, the bacteria have penetrated to the tissue of the gums bleed when you floss, for example, easier means, but it has no effect on the support of the bone around the teeth now. Gingivitis occurs in 80% of the general population, because it always starts between the teeth and most people do not floss every day effective. This step is reversible, if treated by a therapist as Kim, but if periodontal floss every day, including home care does not follow the treatment, then it will, as soon as 2-3 months in some cases back. The next stage is periodontitis, the bacteria have advanced through the loss of some support means bone around the teeth. Periodontal disease in 40% of the population in general, but a much higher percentage in the population over 40 years. Thus, the gum disease is more advanced and complex, we continue to treat. Traditional treatment is to eliminate the bacteria from below the gum with the biofilm in mineralized tissues and bacteria on root surfaces. Today, we use ultrasound, time released local anesthetics and antibiotics, isolated them comfortable. In advanced cases, or not case sensitive, we use a DNA test, antibiotic system, laser and instruments. Laser technology allows us to severe gum disease, we could not treat before the beam penetrates and kills bacteria so far not available, creating a sterile zone, where bacteria thrive and have lived to be treated.

We began to recognize the far-reaching effects of gum disease on our bodies. Bacteria from the teeth and gums in our bloodstream and is transported through our bodies. Doctors have found that link did and now I regularly receive requests for consultations ® to do the surgery on their patients want, but the patient must be free of gum disease before they go for surgery. The risk of surgery with bacteria from gum disease in the blood is too high if it is a life-threatening emergency. The link to heart disease was discovered by cardiologists when they realized these bacteria in the blood to eat the body’s immune system to release resources or to the bacteria cause a “plate” has triggered capsules in our arteries. This scourge of our clogs arteries, cardiovascular attack.

The treatment of gum disease in the stage of gingivitis begins in our office. Why wait until you loose in the biofilm and bone tissue and bacteria in their blood? Interestingly, often periodontist (gum specialist) does not suggest treatment until the disease reaches the advanced periodontitis. Their offices are set up to treat advanced periodontal disease, many general dentists are not trained to treat and refer to specialists. This presents a problem because some people in the counseling they receive the best treatment of gum periodontist in an office, and when periodontal disease (bone disease that often true, but if they gingivitis, it can not be treated aggressively to the disease to stop. In our office to keep our goal of gum disease is, in the treatment of the disease as soon as possible. Unfortunately, gingivitis is often outsourced businesses such as advances are not insured. We hope that our profession is this approach really is the future , has become more available for research and the public informed.
