Periodontal disease is a blanket term that refers to any disease of the gums. Gum disease is prevalent. Up to 80% of Americans have gum disease at any given time. Gum disease is caused by a bacteria buildup in your mouth, which can form from a combination of food and saliva. If caught early, periodontal disease is very treatable, but if undetected or not treated early, it can lead to tooth loss or the need for invasive gum surgery. 
‍
Most people are familiar with the term gingivitis, which refers to the inflammation of the gums that can often indicate periodontal disease. Though not all cases of gingivitis progress to periodontal disease, anyone who experiences gingivitis should seek treatment from their dentist. Doing so will prevent the bacteria from spreading any further. If it does progress, more advanced periodontal disease needs to be evaluated by an experienced periodontist in Beverly Hills.

Symptoms of Periodontal Disease and Gingivitis

The symptoms of gingivitis include red and swollen gums, which often bleed during brushing and flossing. It is treatable if gingivitis is caught at this stage — before it progresses to the tooth or other bone. If the gingivitis progresses, however, the person may develop periodontitis, where the gums begin to recede from the teeth. The now-open spaces between the teeth and gums are especially prone to infection. Eventually, toxins can begin to break down the gums, teeth, bone, and other tissues in the area due to the combination of bacteria and the body's enzymes as they fight the infection. Teeth can become loose and fall out, and chewing can become difficult or painful. At this point, the damage to the teeth is irreparable; the teeth must either be filled in with a dental implant, porcelain crowns, or dental bridges, but they will never be able to heal naturally.

The symptoms of periodontal disease include the following:

Red, swollen or tender gums, as with gingivitis
Gums that bleed during brushing, flossing or chewing, as with gingivitis
Persistent halitosis (bad breath) or bad taste in the mouth, often metallic
Receding gums (gums that pull away from the teeth)
Pockets between the teeth and gums
Loose or movable teeth
Changes in the bite

Treatment Options, Including Oral Surgery

When Dr. Parsa T. Zadeh, a former USC clinical professor and lecturer of 14 years and a Beverly Hills periodontist, diagnoses a patient with periodontal disease, he follows one of several possible courses of treatment, depending on how advanced the disease has become. For less severe cases, nonsurgical treatments will be attempted first to eliminate infection, reduce swelling, and promote healthy regrowth of receded gums.
For mild cases of periodontal disease, Dr. Zadeh will recommend the least invasive treatments. Usually, this includes a comprehensive and deep cleaning, which cleans the surfaces of the tooth, gum pockets, and root. This is known as scaling and root planning. If an infection is present or there is a threat, Dr. Zadeh will prescribe antibiotics.

For more advanced stages or forms of periodontal disease, surgery may be required. Dr. Zadeh performs four types of periodontal surgery near you: pocket reduction, regenerative grafts, crown lengthening, and soft tissue grafts.   

For regeneration, Dr. Zadeh will perform the same steps as in a pocket reduction surgery but will also use bone grafts or tissue proteins to promote healthy regrowth of the gums.

Maintaining your Healthy Smile

Maintaining dental health requires brushing twice daily, flossing, and regular dental visits. Avoid smoking, which increases gum disease risk. Eat a balanced diet with calcium and vitamins C and E to strengthen teeth and boost immunity. Prevent teeth grinding, which can damage tissues and push bacteria into gums. Manage stress, as it weakens your immune system's ability to fight infections. Those with a family history of periodontal disease should be especially vigilant, as the condition is highly genetic.
