A healthy set of denture is not only noticeable in the teeth, to a large extent it is also due to the fact that the supporting structures are healthy, that is, the gums and the bone in which the teeth are housed. The gum is a tissue that covers the bone that surrounds the roots of your teeth, this means that it acts as a protective barrier between the roots of your teeth and your mouth.
Between the gum and the bone, there are some small ligaments that hold the root of the teeth to the bone. This set of structures is the reason the teeth maintain their position and can fulfill all their functions. This set of structures is called the periodontist.
Periodontics can also be affected in various ways, some factors that can affect it are smoking, using dental picks, performing a bad brushing technique, the presence of calculus or dental tartar, bad dental position, bruxism, or teeth grinding, among others. Any of these factors can cause various types of damage to your periodontics, some of them are reversible, while others involve first addressing the origin and then rehabilitating the tissue.
