Periodontal disease can range from simple gum inflammation or gingivitis to a serious disease that can damage the soft tissues and bone that support the teeth. In severe cases, teeth fall out. Typically the disease occurs when plaque builds up along and below the gums.

Gum disease is a threat to your oral health. Research indicates that the effects of the disease could spread far beyond the mouth (we’ll explain that later). If the disease is stopped, stop advancing or worse will depend largely on how well you care for teeth and gums every day since receiving the diagnosis.

* Pit and Fissure Sealants.
The Pit and fissure sealants reduce the incidence of caries in more than 60%, basically involves placing a resin on the surfaces of teeth masticantes later. With this seal the grooves and pits prevents the entry of bacteria that cause cavities.

* Teaching oral hygiene techniques.
This is achieved by reducing the colonies of bacteria that settle on the teeth that cause cavities and gum disease.

* Periodic consultation.
Visit your dentist regularly, this will help prevent oral problems and solve existing early, making it easier and less traumatic treatment.
