Periodontal disease is a common disease of the periodontal tissue. This is not just an unpleasant disease: in many ways, periodontal disease affects the change in the usual rhythm of life. Gels, sprays and ointments for periodontal disease are used to treat the disease.
Periodontal disease is difficult to treat, and in advanced forms can lead to tooth loss. In addition, doctors have revealed the dependence of the development of other diseases in patients suffering from periodontal disease: the risk of developing diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and the development of oncological diseases increases.
Periodontal disease is characterized by the following symptoms:
- discoloration of the gums;
- bleeding;
- a decrease in the height of the interdental septum (until the neck is exposed, and in the case of a neglected form - the root of the tooth);
- violation of tooth enamel;
- increased tooth sensitivity;
- discomfort when eating, itching;
- bad breath.
In the advanced stages of the disease, tooth mobility and inflammation can be added to the listed symptoms.
gums.
In total, there are three stages in the development of periodontal disease:
- Incubation period. It lasts for several years and is characterized by the absence of symptoms. There is a latent development of pathology.
- The appearance of the first symptoms. Teeth sensitivity to temperature changes and other influences appears. The interdental space increases, the neck is exposed, and subsequently the root of the tooth.
- Running stage. Teeth begin to loose and fall out.
In order to avoid such serious consequences, it is necessary to identify the disease as early as possible and immediately begin treatment under the supervision of an experienced specialist.
It is very difficult to treat periodontal disease. First of all, you need to consult a dentist to determine the exact diagnosis and the choice of drugs. Treatment should be comprehensive. Do not forget about other pathologies that affect the decrease in immunity.
For the treatment of periodontal disease, external preparations are mandatory. They are produced in the form of gels, ointments and sprays. All these drugs have the ability to normalize tissue blood supply, have anti-inflammatory and therapeutic effects. The most popular products come in the form of gels and ointments for periodontal gums. They have a high penetrating power, which increases their effectiveness.
Before the onset of obvious symptoms, periodontal disease can develop over several years and go unnoticed. If you do not treat it, then within ten years, complete loss of teeth is possible.
Along with external agents, the dentist may prescribe oral medications. In advanced stages of the disease, antibiotics can be used.
Ointments
Ointments and creams are the most popular topical treatments for gum disease. In addition to the ability to restore blood supply and relieve inflammation, it is desirable that the ointments have an analgesic effect. It is important not only to relieve the manifestation of symptoms, it is necessary to eliminate the cause of the disease - microorganisms that cause infection.
The choice of drugs in pharmacies is large enough, we will consider the most popular ones.
Heparin ointment
The active ingredient in this agent is heparin. The ointment is aimed at relieving inflammation and normalizing microcirculation in tissues. Thanks to the active substances, when using heparin ointment, platelet aggregation decreases. Effective when.
Traumeel S
An external agent related to homeopathic remedies. This ointment is based on only natural mineral and plant components. The main action of the drug is aimed at relieving inflammation, tightening the walls of blood vessels. "Traumeel S" not only improves microcirculation, but also affects the strengthening of general immunity.
Levomekol
This gum ointment is used at an advanced stage of the disease. Apply the ointment twice a day until the inflammatory process is completely removed. Applications with this drug are done twice a day until the inflammatory process is stopped.
After using Levomekol, it is recommended to use an additional agent. As one of the options - Solcoseryl. When used, a thin film appears on the mucous membrane, which protects the mucous membrane from bacteria. In addition, the drug accelerates the process of cell regeneration. Levosin ointment can be used as an anesthetic. It has an antibacterial effect due to the active ingredient - chloramphenicol.
Ointments are mainly produced on a fat basis. This prevents the absorption of the drug into the mucous membrane and reduces the effectiveness of treatment. To prevent swallowing of the drug, the most effective way to apply ointments is to apply a film or periodontal bandage (application). In this way, not only the effectiveness of the use of the agent is increased, but also the resistance of the therapeutic effect is increased.
Gels
Unlike ointments, periodontal gel is absorbed much faster and the effectiveness of its use is much higher. The principle of action does not differ from the ointment, they must have the same properties: anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, analgesic and cooling effect.
As an example, there are several gels that are effectively used in the treatment of periodontal disease:
- Elugel
- Elgifluor
- Holisal
- Mundizal-gel
- Metrogyl Denta
- Kamistad
- Troxevasin
For example, Cholisal has antiviral antimicrobial action. In addition, it practically has no contraindications for use and anesthetizes the affected areas of the mucous membrane. Has a pleasant aniseed scent.
It is important to carry out the full course of treatment and not stop if the main symptoms of the disease have been removed. This will help not only completely stop the development of the infection, but also prevent the recurrence of the disease in the future.
Sprays
Medicines with which you can get rid of periodontal disease are produced not only in the form of ointments and gels, but also in the form of sprays and rinses. All of them must have an antiseptic effect. An example of such a medicine is Miramistin spray. It has a broad spectrum of action and is used in the treatment of oral inflammation. As a therapeutic and prophylactic agent, Parodontosid spray is used.
Many of these drugs are available in pharmacies and are freely available without a doctor's prescription. However, don't self-medicate. The most effective complex of drugs can only be prescribed by a dentist.
The reasons for the development of the disease
The causes of the pathology have not been precisely established. However, there are factors that most affect the development of the disease:
- Hereditary character. The risk of periodontal disease is much higher if a family member is already suffering from it. At the same time, age is not important - periodontal disease develops in both adults and children.
- Other diseases. Periodontal disease can occur in a person with an immune system weakened by other chronic pathologies: diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension and other diseases of the circulatory system, metabolic disorders.
- Violation of the blood supply to the gums. This factor arises as a complication of malnutrition and dental hygiene. A neglected form of such a disorder can lead to loss of teeth and atrophy of gum tissue.
In twenty percent of cases, the development of periodontal disease is the result of other dental problems. However, there are other periodontal diseases such as periodontitis or gingivitis.
Prevention of periodontal disease
Periodontal disease is a serious disease. With a careful attitude to the state of the body and the oral cavity, as well as correctly selected treatment, you can achieve great success in the fight against infection and prevent relapse.
