The main cause of deterioration of teeth is periodontitis. This is a disease affecting gums and bone that support the teeth, and it results from inadequate tooth brushing and flossing. The result of this disease is that the irritated gums pull away from the teeth and form pockets between the teeth and the gums. The first stage is called "gingivitis" and is characterized by gum tissue that is red, puffy, and bleeds easily when touched with a toothbrush, floss or dental instrument. These pockets fill with bacteria and pus which give off a foul odor. Gum disease can be divided into several categories. The second, third, and fourth stages are initial, moderate, and advanced periodontal disease. These stages are different from gingivitis because the infection has destroyed the bone supporting the teeth, causing eventual tooth loss. This is why patients suffer from tooth loss as they age. This eventual tooth loss can cause a decline in a patients overall health and wellbeing. In order to correct this, a patient must trust a highly skilled dentist like Dr. Lazarof to undergo a full mouth reconstruction in order to restore the teeth, gums and jaw to a healthy state.
