Gum Diseases

When gum problems are neglected, they can lead to tooth loss. Symptoms such as bleeding, swelling, redness, pain, sensitivity, recession of the gums, tooth mobility, and bad breath can indicate the presence of gum disease. One common mistake is to stop brushing because the gums bleed. However, this can worsen the symptoms. When these symptoms are encountered, it is important to consult a dentist without delay. If treatment is not started in time, the inflammation in the gums can spread to the jawbone, leading to bone loss. When the bone surrounding the tooth root begins to erode, the tooth loses its support and tooth loss can occur. Regular check-ups every six months can help detect the disease’s progression early. With early intervention, you can maintain your natural teeth in a healthy state for a lifetime.
