Is it possible to Restore Bone Loss Caused by Periodontal Disease?

More frequently than you might imagine, periodontal disease or gum disease can lead to bone loss around the teeth and in the jaws.

In this condition, the dental plaque-causing bacteria slowly eat away at the bone that supports the teeth. This can happen after teeth are lost.

Even persons with excellent dental health can experience bone loss in the gums. However, it is increasingly prevalent as you age.

How can you determine whether you have bone loss?

You probably have gum disease and bone loss if your teeth have started to shift or become loose or if your gums have gotten smaller, swollen, or bleeding when you brush your teeth.

You must immediately seek professional guidance and care because failing to do so could result in tooth loss.

A gap or gaps developing between the teeth, bad breath, movable teeth, inflamed or bleeding gums, or gum recession are common symptoms.

You should immediately call your dentist if you see any of these signs.

What are the causes of tooth-related bone loss?

Smoking is one of the significant risk factors for developing periodontal disease, gum disease, and gum bone loss.

It not only increases vulnerability to gum disease and bone loss but also reduces the outcomes of treatment.

Additionally, inadequate diet and other medical disorders can increase the likelihood of bone loss.

How can you save a tooth with bone loss?

There are several ways that teeth with bone loss can be salvaged before they are lost completely.

Periodontal therapy, when combined with adequate home oral hygiene (correct teeth brushing, flossing, and interdental cleaning), can eliminate the disease and even rebuild some bone loss.

Regenerative grafting can repair the bone surrounding your teeth, improving bone support and keeping your teeth in place.

After losing teeth, the bone can be rebuilt, install dental implants to replace and restore the missing or lost teeth.
