What is the periodontics?
It is a specialty of dentistry that studies the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the gums, root cement and alveolar bone.
The main periodontal diseases are gingivitis (inflammation with bleeding of gums) and the periodontitits (destruction of the bone that supports dental pieces). An untreated gingivitis usually derives in per periodontitis commonly known as Piorrhea and end with the loss of dental pieces.
Gingivitis can be reversed by deflacing the gums, starting with good oral hygiene to control the bacterial plaque and continuing with the elimination of the tartar, periodontal bags and other harmful agents.
Periodontitis is irreversible since the lost bone can not be recovered.
There are factors that contribute to the development of these diseases such as tobacco, stress, dental housing, bruxism, diabetes or hypertension.
It is very difficult to detect these diseases since we do not perceive pain except for exceptions, but we must pay attention to bleeding or suppuration. The diagnosis is made after a periodontal study based on a periodontogram and a series of x-rays. The degree of inflammation of the gums and the loss of bone is determined and the treatment is defined to follow.

It is the inflammation of the gums.
Causes
Gingivitis is the beginning of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is inflammation and infection that destroy the tissues of support of the teeth. This can include gums, periodontal ligaments and bone.
Gingivitis is due to the short-term effects of plate deposits on the teeth. The plate is a sticky material composed of bacteria, mucus and food residues that accumulates in the exposed parts of the teeth. It is also a major cause of dental caries.
If the plate is not removed, it becomes a hard tank named tartar (or calculation) that is trapped at the base of the tooth. The plate and the tarte irritate and inflame the gums. The bacteria and toxins that these produce make the gums inflame and become sensitive.
These things increase the risk of gingivitis:
Certain infections and diseases throughout the body (Systemic)
Bad dental hygiene
Pregnancy (hormonal changes increase the sensitivity of gums)
Non-controlled diabetes
Poorly aligned teeth, rough edges of seals and poorly placed or contaminated oral apparatus (such as dental, prosthetics, bridges and crowns)
The use of certain medications such as phenytoin, bismuth and some contraceptive pills
Many people have a certain amount of gingivitis.This generally appears during puberty or during the early stages of adulthood, due to hormonal changes.It may persist or reappear frequently, depending on the health of your teeth and gums.
