My teeth are itchy! ...Whats wrong with me? |
Issue I have an incredible urge to scratch my teeth. Is this natural? Best Tip Gingivitis is inflammation of the gum tissue. The gums are irritated and swollen due to a plaque or calculus (tartar) buildup along the gumline. The gums may be sore, bleed easily and appear puffy, soft and swollen. No bone structure is lost around the teeth at this stage of gum disease. Blood on the toothbrush or dental floss is one of the earliest and most common signs of gingivitis. Your gums should never bleed while brushing or flossing. The good news about gingivitis is that it is preventable and reversible through good brushing and flossing techniques (or other interdental tooth cleansing). On the other hand, if oral hygiene habits are poor, gingivitis may progress to periodontitis. WHAT IS PERIODONTAL DISEASE? Periodontal disease is destruction of bone and the structures supporting the teeth. Unfortunately periodontitis is irreversible, but you can stop its progression through good oral hygiene and visiting your dental professional. Eight Warning Signs of Periodontal Disease: * gums that bleed when you brush or floss your teeth * gums that are red, swollen or tender * gums that have pulled away from teeth * infection including purulence(pus) between the teeth and gums when the gums are pressed * permanent teeth that are loose or separating * any changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite * any changes in the fit of your partial denture * bad breath * itchy sensation EARLY AND MODERATE PERIODONTITIS: * Periodontitis occurs when the inflammation of the gums progresses into the deeper underlying structures and bone. * In the most common form of periodontitis, plaque (and sometimes calculus) is found below the gumline. * The gums may feel irritated, appear bright red, and bleed easily. * The ligaments holding the tooth in its socket break down and the gums pull away from the teeth, resulting in a periodontal pocket or space between the tooth and gum. * The periodontal pocket deepens and fills with more bacteria. Supportive ligaments and bone start to show damage. Others yes if you are a rabbit!! noooo!!!! omg ur a freak um nooo. no too much crack. |
