The New Silent Killer: Gum Disease
To save your teeth and your general health, stopping periodontal disease before it starts is critical because you are never cured, though it can be managed.
Oral hygiene is crucial for patients left with the deep gum pockets of periodontal disease. Teeth cleanings four times a year supported by prescription mouth rinses with flossing and excellent brushing may become crucial.
Lantis Laser, with its exclusive rights to the application of OCT technology in the field of dentistry under its license Agreements with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and LightLab Imaging, has the ability to diagnose periodontal disease before it begins its assault on the patient’s gums. The practical application of OCT is that it creates a noninvasive technique for imaging subsurface tissue structure with micrometer-scale resolution. This allows the dentist to alert the patient before their gums, teeth and overall health is negatively impacted.
The Lantis Laser OCT imaging system will have the ability to treat decay at its earliest stage. Your mouth may feel clean after you brush, but in reality it’s still a jungle in there. The space between tooth and gum provides an ideal habitat for microorganisms.
Growing evidence shows that gum disease can be serious — even fatal. Gum or periodontal disease may put you at increased risk for heart attacks, stroke, diabetes and some cancers.
About three of every 10 adults over age 65 have lost all of their teeth because of cavities and gum disease, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The main cause of gum disease is bacteria, which is found in plaque, a sticky, colorless film that constantly forms on the teeth and tongue. Daily brushing, flossing, tongue scraping and other forms of interdental cleaning usually remove plaque to keep the gums healthy.
Left untreated, gingivitis can develop into periodontitis, advanced gum disease. This is not a pretty process and it can happen with less pain than a hangnail. Consequently, patients are unaware of the extent to which their health may be impacted. As tartar and plaque continue to build up, pockets form between the teeth and gums and the gums may begin to recede. As the pockets become deeper, the disease destroys more gum tissue and progresses to the bone, which can eventually cause teeth to become loose or fall out.
The dentist, periodontist or dental hygienist can remove plaque through deep cleanings called scaling and root planing. If inflammation and deep pockets remain after cleaning and medication, it may be necessary to do flap surgery, which involves lifting back the gums and removing the tartar. Your periodontist may also suggest bone and tissue grafts to help replace or encourage new growth of bone or gum tissue destroyed by the disease.
Periodontal disease does not hurt … until it is too late. By the time it hurts the bacteria has eaten away the bone and tissue.
The bacteria in plaque produce toxins that trigger an immune response and the release of chemicals called cytokines to wall off and kill the bacteria. The problem is, when too many cytokines are released, inflammation increases, damaging tissues in all areas of the body and causing increased blood pressure levels, high cholesterol levels and increased blood clotting, which can lead to potentially fatal heart attacks and strokes.
Inflammation is an important phenomenon in the spectrum of all kinds of diseases. The inflammatory messengers sent out by diseased gums are taken by the bloodstream to distant sites in the body where they then have the strong potential to impact overall health.
Some researchers also believe that when periodontal bacteria travel from the mouth through the bloodstream, they may lodge in the blood vessel walls, triggering inflammation and causing the walls to thicken. A thickened blood vessel wall can increase a person’s risk of heart disease and heart attack.
