One of the most popular products in dentistry is the adhesive balm for gums "ASEPTA®". The use of this combination remedy is an excellent prevention of problems in the oral cavity. Let's try to figure out how and why to use this balm.
What does adhesive gum balm mean?
The word adhesion itself means in physics the adhesion of the surfaces of various solid and liquid bodies. And the word adhesive, accordingly, means “sticking, leading to fusion.”
Adhesive balm for gums "ASEPTA®" has a wide spectrum of action on microorganisms in the oral cavity. This product includes a unique combination of components:
- Metronidazole. This is a nitroimidazole derivative that is active against protozoan and anaerobic bacteria that cause periodontal disease.
- Chlorhexidine is a broad-spectrum antiseptic. Chlorhexidine actively eliminates vegetative forms of gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms, as well as dermatophytes, yeast and lipophilic viruses.
- Menthol and mint multiply the anti-inflammatory properties of the balm, freshen breath and have a mild analgesic effect.
At the same time, it is the adhesive base that ensures reliable fixation of the balm on the gum. On average, the product lasts on fabrics for 75 minutes, which significantly increases the duration of action of all components, and therefore provides a longer and more reliable effect.
The effectiveness of the adhesive balm has been proven by clinical studies at the Central Research Institute of Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery.
What pathologies does the balm help with?
Most often, adhesive gum balm is used in the treatment of gingivitis, periodontitis and periodontal disease: diseases that cause destructive phenomena in the gum area.
As a rule, such problems occur in adults, but in rare cases, gingivitis also appears in children.
It is important to understand that swelling and sore gums can cause premature tooth loss. It is the gums that are the tissues that hold teeth in place and in no case should their health be neglected.
In addition, gum inflammation can be complicated by its transfer to periodontal tissue (tissue that directly holds the tooth in its socket). In this case, the whole body will suffer: bleeding can cause anemia or cause dental damage.
We should not forget that foci of chronic infection also affect the immune system. Sooner or later, constantly bleeding gums will affect the health of the kidneys, heart, and metabolism.
How can you tell if your gums are unhealthy?
The first signs of gingivitis or gum inflammation are:
- swelling in the teeth;
- soreness and bleeding of the gums when brushing teeth or biting off solid food;
- bad breath.
As soon as patients notice bleeding gums, it is important to see a dentist as soon as possible to find the right toothpastes, rinses and balms to treat their gums. Typically, therapy also includes removing tartar deposits and plaque around the teeth through professional cleaning.
The main signs of periodontitis, inflammation that usually forms against the background of gingivitis, include:
- inflammation of the periodontal and bone tissue that holds the teeth in the gums;
- exposure of tooth roots;
- difficulty keeping teeth in the gums;
- sore gums;
- bleeding gums;
- the appearance of so-called periodontal pockets - holes between the tooth and gum.
In rare cases, patients experience periodontal disease and atrophy of the periodontal tissue area. The main symptom of this disease is the exposure of the tooth roots. The gums look quite healthy, but the teeth begin to loosen and fall out.
