It affects 95% of the population to a greater or lesser extent at some point in their lives. <\/p>\n<p>It is characterised by <strong>frequent bleeding in everyday life<\/strong>, when brushing your teeth, biting into an apple, eating a sandwich or even staining your pillow. People who smoke may not notice any of this because tobacco hides the reality of their gum health, and at the same time, makes them more susceptible or more likely to suffer from this disease. When the infection affects only the gums, it is called gingivitis, but it can progress to periodontitis, in which case the bone that holds the teeth in place is destroyed and the teeth may be lost.  <\/p>\n<p>The speed at which the disease progresses varies from person to person, and even within the same person, there may be times when it progresses very quickly for a period, then slows down, and vice versa. That is why it is important to start treatment as soon as possible to prevent the disease from progressing silently. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Causes&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#1b2d47&#8243;

Each patient and each of their teeth require different degrees of curettage, which is why it is necessary to first diagnose the extent of periodontal disease or gum infection in each patient. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Prevention <\/strong>consists of avoiding new infections through care that helps patients improve their daily hygiene using the most appropriate hygiene tools for each situation. During professional prevention visits, we monitor the health of the gums once they have healed, providing personalised follow-up. We eliminate bacteria that, despite daily care, organise themselves in the folds or grooves of the gums, forming \u2018colonies\u2019 or bacterial biofilms that are highly resistant to destruction and must be broken down or removed to prevent the gums from becoming infected again.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;right&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.ionzabalegui.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/dsklgnsdkbjg_Mesa-de-trabajo-1.webp&#8221; title_text=&#8221;dsklgnsdkbjg_Mesa de trabajo 1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|15px|15px|15px|15px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||167px||&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.ionzabalegui.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Fondo_Logo2-1.jpg&#8221; parallax=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;127px||144px|||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1600px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;rgba(27,45,71,0.76)&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.ionzabalegui.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/clinica-dentl_Mesa-de-trabajo-1.webp&#8221; background_blend=&#8221;multiply&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;50px|50px|50px|50px|true|true&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|15px|15px|15px|15px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset3&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.ionzabalegui.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Clinica_Dental.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Dental_Clinic&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;10%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;10%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;25%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Spectral||||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Spectral||||||||&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-10px||-4px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||9px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Acute necrotising ulcerative gingivitis<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Open Sans||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Acute necrotising ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG) is an acute infection of the gums that manifests itself as pain in the gums affecting a large area of the mouth.
