Common Oral Conditions In Adults And DIY Personal Care Products

By Kimberly Myers


It is important to maintain a good care routine using DIY personal care products to avoid developing dental conditions like the periodontal disease. This gum disease is more prominent in the elderly people than it is in young people. This is because the human immune system deteriorates as a person gets older.

If dental charge routines are not followed properly or not followed at all, the mouth and teeth become infected. The most prominent is the plaque and tartar that easily build upon fangs if good treatment routines are violated. The periodontal disease is caused by the plaque and tartar that is left unattended to for a long time. With time these manage to destroy the structures that support teeth. This leads to a person experiencing loose molars that will later fall out.

Bacteria multiply more quickly in warm and humid places. This makes the mouth a perfect place for it to breed. Practicing good care routine like brushing teeth or flossing are the ways used to remove the bacteria and prevent the building up of tartar.

The tartar build-u on fangs affects them and gums if left untreated. At this stage, the gums would be inflamed and easily bleed. This condition is called gingivitis. Like periodontal, gingivitis can be maintained by keeping the mouth clean at all times. This means daily brushing of molars and incisors and regular dentist visits. This way potential infection-causing bacteria is destroyed.

If gingivitis is left untreated, it can develop into periodontite. This means the inflammation all around the tooth. Here gums retrieve away from the molars and incisors and create spaces that are called pockets. These pockets then become infected. As the plaque can spread then grows under the gum line, the immune system attaches bacteria. In this case, there would be excessive bacterial toxins in the infected area. When the bodys natural response to fight infection and bacterial toxins combine, they start to break inside the bone and the support structure. If left untreated the teeth eventually get loose and are removed.

Gum disease can be caused by some illnesses e. G. AIDS, cancer, and diabetes. These make gums to become very sensitive and prone to bacteria found in the mouth. Other factors that cause mounth disease are smoking and hormonal changes. If smoking is the main cause of gingivitis, it becomes very hard for it to be treated.

Medication also causes gum inflammations. This happens in two ways. Firstly, medication promotes overgrowth of gum tissue. This excessive gum tissue tends to get stuck on molars and incisors if good charge routine is not practiced. If left for a long time, it starts to build up into plaque and tartar. Also, some medication side effects include dry mouth. In this case, there will not be enough saliva to help protect the mouth from potential bacterial infections.

If you find yourself having red swollen and bleeding gums, bad breath, difficulty when chewing because of pain; it would be ideal to visit a dentist. This is because these are the main signs and symptoms of gum disease. To further help yourself, frequently practice good care routine like brushing and flossing of teeth. If this becomes routine you will have healthy gums free of infections.
