Conditions
Dental Caries
Dental caries is the most common disease or disorder occurring in the oral cavity. The microorganisms along with the food particles present in the mouth leads to dental caries. It is also known as “Tooth Decay” or “Cavities”. This disease can lead to pain, infection, and even tooth loss.
Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease, also called gum disease, is a bacterial infection that can destroy the soft tissues and bone that support the teeth.
Periodontal Disease & Diabetes
Periodontal disease progresses as the sulcus (pocket or space) between the tooth and gums fills with bacteria, plaque, and tartar, causing irritation to the surrounding tissues. When these irritants remain in the pocket space, they can cause damage to the gums and eventually, the bone that supports the teeth leading to tooth loss.
Periodontal Disease, Heart Disease & Stroke
Periodontal disease is linked to serious health conditions such as heart disease and stroke. The beginning of gum disease is marked by bleeding gums during procedures such as brushing or flossing. If gum disease is left untreated for a long time, the disease-causing bacteria may enter the blood circulation and result in various health problems.
Periodontal Disease & Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis, a bone disease characterized by decrease in bone mass and density, may be associated with tooth loss. As the jaw bone that supports and anchors the teeth loses its density, the teeth loosen from their sockets. Periodontal disease causes bone loss around the teeth. Both periodontal disease and osteoporosis are associated with bone loss.
Periodontal Disease & Pregnancy
Periodontal disease, also called gum disease, is a bacterial infection destroying the soft tissues and bones that support your teeth. Pregnancy causes hormonal changes that can increase the risk of dental problems, which in turn can affect the health of your developing baby.
Periodontal Disease & Respiratory Disease
Periodontal disease, also called gum disease, is a bacterial infection that can destroy the soft tissues and bone that support the teeth. Recent research has demonstrated an association between periodontal disease and several respiratory conditions.
Bruxism
Bruxism is one of the most commonly known sleep disorders and causes most of its damage during sleeping hours. The clenching and grinding which accompanies bruxism is symptomatic of a malfunctioning chewing reflex, which is turned off in non-sufferers when sleeping. For sufferers, deep sleep or even naps cause the reflex nerve control centre in the brain to turn off, and the reflex pathways to become active.
Gum Recession
Gum recession is a commonly occurring dental problem in which the edge of your gum tissue around the teeth tends to pull back towards the root of the teeth. Receding gums makes it easier for the bacteria to multiply in the formed gaps between the teeth and the gum line. Gum recession may damage the surrounding tissues and bony tooth structures thereby resulting in tooth loss if not treated timely.
