What is Aggressive Periodontitis?

Aggressive periodontitis is a serious gum disease that affects the structures that support your teeth, such as the gums, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligament. It is characterized by rapid attachment loss, bone destruction, and pocketing around the teeth. It is most common in young adults and is more prevalent in people of African-American descent.

Causes of Aggressive Periodontitis

The exact cause of aggressive periodontitis is unknown, but it is believed to be linked to two main factors: genetics and certain bacteria. Genetics can play a role in making some individuals more susceptible to the disease. Certain bacteria, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis, have been linked to aggressive periodontitis.

Signs and Symptoms of Aggressive Periodontitis

The most common signs and symptoms of aggressive periodontitis include:

• Red, swollen, or tender gums
• Gums that bleed easily, even when brushing or flossing
• Bad breath (halitosis)
• Receding gums
• Loose teeth

These symptoms may be mild at first, but if left untreated, the disease can progress quickly and cause more serious symptoms, such as severe pain, tooth loss, and gum recession.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Aggressive Periodontitis

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms of aggressive periodontitis, it is important to visit your dentist. Your dentist will examine your mouth and take X-rays to help diagnose the condition. Depending on the severity of the disease, your dentist may recommend a variety of treatments, such as scaling and root planing, antibiotics, and/or surgery.

Preventing Aggressive Periodontitis

The best way to prevent aggressive periodontitis is to practice good oral hygiene, including brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups. Additionally, quitting smoking can help reduce your risk of developing the disease.

Aggressive periodontitis is an advanced form of gum disease that can cause rapid destruction of the gums and bone around the teeth. It is caused by the bacteria in plaque, which can accumulate on the teeth and irritate the gums. Poor oral hygiene, smoking and certain genetic factors can increase the risk of developing aggressive periodontitis. Treatment involves professional cleaning and scaling to remove plaque and tartar, as well as antibiotics to reduce the bacteria present in the mouth. In more advanced cases, surgery may be necessary to restore the health of the gums and bone.

It is likely that aggressive periodontitis is caused by bacteria. Bacteria can cause inflammation in the gums, leading to the destruction of the supporting structures of the teeth. This can be caused by a combination of poor oral hygiene, smoking, and genetics. It is important to maintain a regular oral hygiene routine, such as brushing twice a day and flossing regularly. Additionally, quitting smoking and visiting a dentist regularly can help reduce the risk of developing aggressive periodontitis. Additionally, some studies suggest that antibiotics may be beneficial in preventing and treating aggressive periodontitis.

Q: I was recently diagnosed with aggressive periodontitis. I have been told that this condition is incurable, but that it can be managed. Are there any natural treatments that I can try?

Yes, there are some natural treatments for aggressive periodontitis that can help manage the condition. Some lifestyle adjustments such as avoiding smoking and quitting drinking alcohol can help reduce the destruction of the gums. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables can also help to boost the immune system.
