Periodontal Disease – Proper Oral Care is

Essential (Dr. L. Z. Bodak - Media PA Dentist)

Our mouths are full of bacteria. These bacteria, along with mucus and other particles, constantly form a sticky, colorless "plaque" on teeth.

Infections in the mouth can play havoc elsewhere in the body. It has long been thought that bacteria was the factor that linked periodontal disease to other infections in the body. Dr. L. Z. Bodak (Media PA Dentist) agrees with recent research shows that inflammation may be a huge factor in it links periodontal disease to other chronic conditions.

Good oral hygiene is the best prevention against periodontal disease because it removes the plaque that causes the disorder.  

If left untreated, gingivitis can advance to periodontitis. Once it has reached this stage, plaque can spread and grow below the gum line causing bacteria to turn into toxins that stimulate a chronic inflammatory response in which the body. Dr. L. Z. Bodak (Media PA Dentist) warns patients of letting the disease progress to this level because this is when the tissues and bone that support the teeth are broken down and destroyed.

Periodontal disease is diagnosed with a thorough periodontal exam. A small, blunt probe is used by Dr. L. Z. Bodak (Media PA Dentist) to measure the depth of the gum pockets around every tooth in the mouth. Measurements are taken at six sites on each tooth. This depth gives an objective gauge of the health of the gums.
