  2. Changing food habits and lifestyle changes have a significant effect on our dental health. Not following the recommendations of your dentist can lead to the development of gum disease. If caught in the early stages, it can be treated. But if you ignore it, you’ll find yourself searching for clinics offering the best dental fillings treatment in Kuwait.

  3. Even before it gets to the point of dental implants, gum disease starts affecting your facial features. In today’s blog, we’ll discuss the stages of gum disease and how they can affect your dental structure if left untreated.

  4. Stages of Gum Disease Stage 1 Gingivitis is the beginning stage of gum disease. The gums become inflamed, and gaps start to appear between the teeth and gums. This allows food particles to settle in those gaps, leading to bacterial infection and bone damage.

  5. Stage 2 As gum disease develops, the symptoms of periodontitis become prominent. This causes increased bone degeneration, causing teeth to loosen and gums to recede even further.

  6. Stage 3 If you continue ignoring the symptoms of periodontitis, it reaches the final stage, where teeth are no longer attached to the gums and need to be removed completely, causing a lot of pain. Even the best periodontist in Kuwait can’t save your teeth at this stage.

  7. How Does Tooth Loss Impact the Facial Structure? Even if one tooth is missing for a long time, the surrounding teeth start to shift little by little, causing a misalignment of teeth and difficulty in eating. The space left behind by missing teeth also becomes an excellent breeding ground for bacteria to spread and affect other healthy teeth as well. It further deteriorates bone matter, causing the jawbone to become disfigured.

  8. Act Before the Damage is Done You should not ignore gum disease but start its treatment the moment you realise it. If you see gum bleeding, have bad breath or sore gums or witness changes in the colour of your gums, immediately seek treatment from a reputed dentist. An experienced periodontist can help treat gum disease early on through treatment procedures like scaling and root planing. Scaling removes the plaque and bacteria, and root planing prevents future bacterial growth.

  9. Conclusion It’s wise to take all precautionary measures to prevent gum disease from progressing. If it reaches the final stage, unfortunately, consult your nearest periodontist for dental fillings treatment in Kuwaitto save your remaining healthy teeth.
