Periodontal Gum Disease
Prevent and Treat the Symptoms of Gum Disease
Early detection and treatment can help stop the advancement of periodontal gum disease, which begins as gingivitis, an inflammation of the gums brought on by lifestyle choices and poor oral hygiene. Periodontitis, a much more severe form of gum disease that can result in tooth loss and major problems with oral health, can develop from gingivitis if treatment is not received. Let’s say that you are suffering from any of the common signs of gum disease, such as red, sore, or swollen gums, receding gums, loose or moving teeth, or bleeding gums when brushing or flossing. It is crucial in that situation to get qualified dental care as soon as possible.
Do your gums bleed?
Most people do not give much thought to their gums daily. We go about our daily functions without thinking twice about our gums, not even when we brush our teeth. Our gums play a vital role in our oral health and ultimately our overall health. They are responsible for holding our teeth in place as well as keeping bacteria and particles that enter our mouths out of our bloodstream. When gums are bleeding it may be indicative of a serious problem. Caring for the problem immediately could be crucial to our overall health. If you notice your gums are bleeding during brushing your teeth that is a good time to visit your dentist. Read More.
