Can Aggressive Periodontitis be Stopped?
Aggressive periodontitis is a serious gum infection that can cause damage to the teeth and surrounding tissue. It is caused by bacteria that invade the gums and cause inflammation and damage to the supportive structures of the teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and other serious health problems. Fortunately, aggressive periodontitis can be stopped with proper treatment and preventive care.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
The first step in treating aggressive periodontitis is to identify the cause and remove any underlying factors contributing to the disease. This may include addressing any existing dental issues such as cavities or gum disease, as well as adjusting any lifestyle habits that may be contributing to the condition.
Once the underlying causes are addressed, a treatment plan can be developed to address the active infection. This typically involves a combination of professional dental cleaning and scaling, medication, and lifestyle changes. Professional cleaning and scaling are important for removing the plaque and tartar that lead to the infection. Medication, such as antibiotics, may be necessary to help prevent the spread of the infection.
Preventive Care
In addition to treating the active infection, preventive care is also important to stop aggressive periodontitis from recurring. This includes brushing and flossing regularly to remove plaque and bacteria, as well as visiting the dentist on a regular basis for check-ups and professional cleanings.
It is also important to be mindful of any lifestyle habits that may be contributing to the condition, such as smoking or drinking alcohol. These habits should be avoided or minimized to help prevent the condition from recurring.

Yes, aggressive periodontitis can be stopped. Aggressive periodontitis is a form of periodontal disease that is characterized by rapid destruction of periodontal tissues due to an aggressive, localized bacterial infection. This type of infection can be stopped with proper treatment and management.
The first step in stopping aggressive periodontitis is to identify the cause of the infection. Common causes of aggressive periodontitis include smoking, poor oral hygiene, and certain medical conditions. Once the cause of the infection has been identified, it is important to modify or eliminate any behaviors or conditions that may have contributed to the infection. This may include quitting smoking, brushing and flossing daily, and managing existing medical conditions.
Once the cause of the infection has been addressed, a professional dental cleaning should be performed. During the cleaning, the dental professional will remove any plaque and tartar that has built up on the teeth and gums. This will help reduce the level of bacteria that is present in the mouth, which can help reduce the severity of the infection.
The next step in stopping aggressive periodontitis is to begin an antibiotic regimen. This will help to reduce the existing infection and reduce the chance of the infection spreading. Antibiotics can be taken orally or applied topically depending on the severity of the infection.
Finally, it is important to follow up with regular dental cleanings and checkups to monitor the progression of the periodontal disease. This will help ensure that the infection is contained and that the treatment plan is working. With proper treatment and management, aggressive periodontitis can be stopped and prevented from spreading further.

The best way to do this is by practicing good oral hygiene such as brushing, flossing, and using antibacterial mouthwash, as well as scheduling regular professional cleanings and periodontal maintenance. Regular dental exams are also important in order to detect any issues early and address them accordingly. If aggressive periodontitis is diagnosed, your dentist may recommend scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar, as well as local antimicrobial therapy to kill any remaining bacteria in the gums. Finally, following a healthy diet and avoiding smoking and alcohol can also help keep the disease from progressing.
