More than 75 percent of Americans over 35 have some form of gum disease. In its earliest stage, gums swell and bleed easily; at later stages, a loss of teeth exists. If you want to keep your teeth, you must take care of your gums.
The mouth is a busy place, with millions of bacteria constantly on the move. While some bacteria are harmless, others can attack the teeth and gums. Harmful bacteria are contained in a colorless sticky film called plaque, the cause of gum disease. If not removed, plaque builds up on the teeth and ultimately irritates the gums and causes bleeding. Left unchecked, bone and connective tissue are destroyed, and teeth often become loose and may have to be removed.
Enter Lantis Laser! OCT Imaging detects more than decay. Gum disease can be detected as well!
The ability to image both the teeth and the gums provides the dentist with technology that is able to detect early stage disease in oral tissue AND capture it sooner than has historically been possible with a minimally invasive procedure. A routine visit is not just a chance for you to get your teeth cleaned but for a dentist to spot potential health issues.
Diagnosing gum disease has historically involved a complete set of x-rays. Lantis Laser OCT to the rescue. No more obnoxious full mouth x-rays with creepy cardboard!
During a periodontal exam full-mouth X-rays help detect breakdown of bone surrounding your teeth., your gums are checked for bleeding, swelling, and firmness. The teeth are checked for movement and sensitivity. Your bite is assessed.
Periodontal probing determines how severe your disease is. A probe is like a tiny ruler that is gently inserted into pockets around teeth. The deeper the pocket, the more severe the disease. Methods used to treat gum disease vary and are based on the stage of the disease.
Oral Health and Overall Health
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), researchers have uncovered potential links between periodontal disease and other serious health conditions. In people with healthy immune systems, the influx of oral bacteria into the bloodstream is usually harmless. But under certain circumstances, the CDC says, the microorganisms that live in the human mouth can cause problems elsewhere in the body “if normal protective barriers in the mouth are breached.”
If you have diabetes, for example, you are at higher risk of developing infections such as periodontal disease. These infections can impair the body’s ability to process or use insulin, which may cause your diabetes to be more difficult to manage. Diabetes is not only a risk factor for periodontal disease, but periodontal disease may make diabetes worse.
However, the CDC cautions that there is not enough evidence to conclude that oral infections actually cause or contribute to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other serious health problems. More research is underway to determine whether the associations are causal or coincidental.
