Periodontal bone loss is a serious condition that affects the supporting structures of your teeth. It occurs when the bone that holds your teeth in place begins to deteriorate, often as a result of untreated periodontal disease. This condition can lead to tooth instability and eventual tooth loss if not addressed promptly. We are dedicated to helping you maintain healthy teeth and gums, preventing conditions like periodontal bone loss from impacting your smile.
Causes and Symptoms
Periodontal bone loss is primarily caused by the progression of periodontal disease. When plaque and tartar build up on your teeth and gums, they create an environment where bacteria can thrive. These bacteria can cause inflammation and infection in the gums, leading to the breakdown of the bone that supports your teeth. Other contributing factors include genetics, smoking, poor oral hygiene and certain medical conditions. Symptoms of periodontal bone loss can be subtle at first but may include:
- Receding gums
- Loose teeth
- Changes in bite
- Persistent bad breath
- Gums that bleed easily
