What are the symptoms of wisdom tooth periodontitis

I believe that many of us have experienced wisdom teeth problems. This is not surprising, but it has brought great negative impacts to ourselves. Many people worry about how to treat it more effectively. If the symptoms can be discovered in the early stages of wisdom teeth and treatment can be carried out in a timely and effective manner, the effect will be very good. Let us now learn about the symptoms of wisdom tooth periodontitis.

1. The gums in the periodontal pockets show varying degrees of chronic inflammation, dark red or bright red in color, soft in texture, with no stippling, rounded edges and no adhesion to the tooth surface. Some patients have partial fibrous hyperplasia and thickening of the gums due to long-term chronic inflammation. The surface inflammation is not obvious, but after a periodontal probe is inserted, there is bleeding and pus on the inner wall of the pocket. The probing depth of the periodontal pocket exceeds 3 mm and there is attachment loss. If there is gingival recession, the probing depth may be within the normal range, but the cementoenamel junction can be seen to be exposed, so attachment loss can more accurately reflect the destruction of periodontal supporting tissues.

2. Inflammation of periodontal pockets, loss of attachment and alveolar bone resorption occur in the early stages of periodontitis, but because the degree is relatively mild, there is generally no obvious discomfort. The main clinical symptoms are bleeding when brushing teeth or eating, or bad taste in the mouth, but they usually do not attract the attention of patients. Only when deep periodontal pockets are formed, loose teeth, weak or painful chewing, or even acute periodontal abscesses occur, do they become serious?

Go to the doctor, it is usually in the late stage.

3. Occlusal trauma can cause vertical absorption of the alveolar bone, widening of the periodontal membrane space, and loosening of teeth, but simple occlusal trauma will not cause the formation of periodontal pockets. When the excessive bite force is eliminated, the alveolar bone can repair itself and the tooth mobility returns to normal. When teeth with periodontitis are accompanied by occlusal trauma, mobility can be significantly aggravated. Common causes of occlusal trauma include nocturnal bruxism, clenching of teeth, premature contact and cusp interference, high restorations and excessive orthodontic force. Acute trauma can also cause teeth to loosen or even dislocate.

The above content introduces us to the symptoms of wisdom tooth periodontitis. I believe that everyone has a clearer understanding of these contents. Each of us must know something about this aspect in advance, which can help us cure our wisdom tooth problems faster and better and help everyone have a healthy body.
