There are many different varieties of periodontal disease, but they all require immediate treatment by a dentist to save your gums and bones.

Here are some of the most common types of periodontal disease along with the treatments typically performed to correct them:

• Gingivitis is the mildest and most common form of periodontitis. It is caused by the toxins in plaque and leads to periodontal disease. People at increased risk of developing gingivitis include pregnant women, women taking birth control pills, people with uncontrolled diabetes, steroid users and people who control seizures and blood pressure using medication.

Treatment: When treating gingivitis, the dentist may use a combination of home care and professional cleaning procedures. Root planing or deep scaling are common techniques to cleanse pockets with debris in them; antibiotics can be used for any remaining bacteria that pose risks (e.g.,Streptococcus mutans) while medicated mouthwashes help promote healing by killing these harmful organisms on contact

• Chronic periodontal disease is the most common form of the disease, and occurs much more frequently in people over 45. Chronic periodontal disease is characterized by inflammation below the gum line and the progressive destruction of the gingival and bone tissue. It may appear that the teeth are gradually growing in length, but in actuality the gums are gradually recessing.

Treatment: Unfortunately, like gingivitis, chronic periodontal disease cannot be completely cured because the supportive tissue can't always return to its original state. However; if you receive scaling and root planing procedures in combination with antimicrobial treatments or surgery such as pocket reduction therapy - there's a chance for your mouth health improve aesthetically.

• Aggressive periodontal disease is characterized by the rapid loss of gum attachment, the rapid loss of bone tissue and familial aggregation. The disease itself is essentially the same as chronic periodontitis but the progression is much faster. Smokers and those with a family history of this disease are at an increased risk of developing aggressive periodontitis.

• Periodontal Disease Relating to Systemic Conditions. Periodontal disease can be a symptom of a disease or condition affecting the rest of the body. Depending on the underlying condition, the disease can behave like aggressive periodontal disease, working quickly to destroy tissue. Heart disease, diabetes and respiratory disease are the most common cofactors, though there are many others. Even in cases where little plaque coats the teeth, many medical conditions intensify and accelerate the progression of periodontal disease.

Treatment: Chronic periodontal disease is a condition where the supportive tissue has fallen out or been destroyed. It cannot be completely cured because this meant that there are no longer any dental supports to promote healthy teeth and gums in your mouth, but it can still be halted using scaling procedures with root planing combined together antimicrobial treatments if necessary after which time surgical intervention may also need to take place such as pocket reduction surgery among other things too lengthy for inclusion here!

• Necrotizing Periodontal Disease. This form of the disease rapidly worsens and is more prevalent among people who suffer from HIV, immunosuppression, malnutrition, chronic stress or choose to smoke. Tissue death (necrosis) frequently affects the periodontal ligament, gingival tissues and alveolar bone.
