Periodontitis in its first phase (which is called) gingivitis <strong>does not cause any pain<\/strong>. It is often <strong>not recognized<\/strong> or treated adequately. Periodontitis leads to infection of the <strong>dental bed<\/strong> and then leads to degradation and ultimately destruction of surrounding bone. If the infection is <strong>not treated<\/strong>, <strong>deeper pockets<\/strong> will form around the tooth in the tissue. The tooth <strong>starts to wobble<\/strong> and eventually falls out. An indication of periodontitis is the unpleasant sweet-foul bad breath caused by the bacteria in the periodontal pockets.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Periodontitis and its consequences<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The consequences of periodontal disease can be even more serious and significantly damage the holistic health of the patient. In recent years, the evidence has been summarized that periodontitis pathogens are also involved in the <strong>formation of special coverings<\/strong>. These bacterial linings can even be responsible for <strong>stroke<\/strong> or <strong>heart attack<\/strong>, warn oral surgeons and dentists. If the <strong>bacteria enter the bloodstream<\/strong>, there is a risk that the circulation in the blood vessels will decrease and the airways will suffer. It proves once again: &#8220;Health starts in the mouth!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1115779399 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n  margin: 0px 0px -35px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row align-middle\"  id=\"row-331440469\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1354493996\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1001837615\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n\t\t\t<img width=\"450\" height=\"288\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silodent.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/clean-healthy-teeth-gum-smile.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"A beautiful smile due to healthy teeth and healthy gums.\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.silodent.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/clean-healthy-teeth-gum-smile.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.silodent.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/clean-healthy-teeth-gum-smile-250x160.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1001837615 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2046507190\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_735864928\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n\t\t\t<img width=\"450\" height=\"228\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silodent.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/healthy-happy-without-gingivitis-periodontitis.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Happy life - with healthy teeth and gums without any problems due to gingivitis or periodontitis\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.silodent.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/healthy-happy-without-gingivitis-periodontitis.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.silodent.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/healthy-happy-without-gingivitis-periodontitis-250x127.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_735864928 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1674457435\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2><strong>The therapy for parodontitis<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Treatment may be performed by a periodontist, a dentist or a dental hygienist. The goal of periodontitis treatment is to thoroughly clean the pockets around teeth and prevent damage to surrounding bone, also the tooth cleaning behavior is checked and corrected if necessary. After approximately three months of healing, the success of the treatment should be checked.<\/p>\n<p>You have the best chance for successful treatment when you also adopt a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silodent.com\/en\/blog\/2018\/05\/05\/oral-hygiene-at-home\/\"><strong>daily<\/strong> <strong>routine<\/strong><\/a> of good oral care and stop tobacco use.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What helps against Periodontitis?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Lifestyle and home remedies\u00a0 are of high importance!<\/p>\n<p>Try these measures to reduce or prevent periodontitis:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brush your teeth twice a day or, better yet, after every meal or snack.<\/li>\n<li>Use a soft toothbrush and replace it at least every three to four months.<\/li>\n<li>Supplement brushing and flossing with an interdental cleaner, such as Silodent Oral Irrigator<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The most important thing is in <strong>addition to brushing teeth<\/strong> it to clean the <strong>interdental spaces<\/strong> from food particles and thus to <strong>remove of the bacteria<\/strong> there. Only the <strong>regular use<\/strong> of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silodent.com\/en\/oral-irrigator\/\"><strong>oral irrigator<\/strong><\/a> ensures the best success here. It flushes all food particles out from the interdental spaces and thus eliminates even the chance for the bacteria to settle in the interdental spaces. Regular usage of Oral Irrigator in combination with brushing reduces gum inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, it is a good idea to regularly strengthen the gums. It&#8217;s easy, with natural herbs and oils. For a long time, people have used <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silodent.com\/en\/shop\/dentiste-oil-pulling-cure\/\">oil pulling<\/a><\/strong> to do so. \u00a0Apply it in the morning, immediately after getting up, pull a well-balanced oil mixture through your mouth. This removes all harmful substances and bacteria from the mouth, calms the gums and strengthens the whole body.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Always remember: Clean the interdental spaces daily for a short time. Periodontitis is a chronic disease, it can always return. <\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Click here for the&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silodent.com\/en\/zahncheck\/\">Test for your dental status<\/a> &lt;<\/h3>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row align-middle\"  id=\"row-786340158\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-519883869\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_106153326\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img width=\"450\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silodent.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/gingivitis-periodontitis-pain.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Gingivitis (periodontal disease) leads to infection of the dental bed and can lead to pain, loose teeth and long term serious health problems.\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.silodent.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/gingivitis-periodontitis-pain.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.silodent.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/gingivitis-periodontitis-pain-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_106153326 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1463987269\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1250482686\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img width=\"450\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silodent.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/gum-healthy.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Proper oral hygiene assures healthy gums and healthy teeth.\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.silodent.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/gum-healthy.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.silodent.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/gum-healthy-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1250482686 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_1447464787\">\n\t\t<div class=\"bg section-bg fill bg-fill  bg-loaded\" >\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-970075245\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-237624480\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"row align-right\"  id=\"row-2106481906\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-873717679\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.silodent.com\/en\/shop\/silodent-oral-irrigator\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button primary is-outline is-xlarge expand\"  >\n    <span>buy Silodent oral irrigator now<\/span>\n  <\/a>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1447464787 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-right-sidebar.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Gingivitis - Periodontitis: Symptoms, Causes and Help | Silodent<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Gingivitis \/ periodontal disease is a wide-spread disease.
