Simple Warning Signs of a Serious Condition
September 15th, 2009 by wordpress
1. Do your gums sometimes bleed when you brush?
2. Do you have places in your gums that get red or sore?
3. Will bad breath just not go away?
These symptoms might not seem like much, but they could be the first signs of gum disease.
Every mouth has good and bad bacteria. Gum disease occurs when millions of harmful bacteria have multiplied under your gumline and started infection. Because the bacteria live and grow in pockets below the gumline, brushing and flossing cannot stop the infection. The best way to fight back is to visit a dentist.
Consistent oral hygiene at home and regular visits to our office will keep your gums healthy. If left untreated, gum disease will get serious and could potentially lead to tooth loss or more serious health issues. Timely, professional treatment is the only way to stop gum disease before it gets serious.
If you notice any bleeding or soreness in your gums, schedule an appointment with our office.
Together, we can fight back against gum disease and keep your whole smile healthy.
