If you have been experiencing tender, swollen gums or noticing blood in the sink after brushing, you may be dealing with gum disease. But fret not! We are here to guide you through the journey towards healthier gums and a brighter smile.
Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease or periodontal disease is not something to take lightly. If left untreated, it can wreak havoc on your gums and even lead to you losing your teeth. At its core, gum disease starts with bacteria buildup along the gumline, which triggers inflammation. Over time, this inflammation can progress, causing your gums to pull away from your teeth, creating pockets where bacteria thrive.
While gum disease primarily affects your oral health, its repercussions extend beyond your mouth. Gum disease has been linked to other health issues, including heart disease, diabetes and respiratory problems. By addressing gum disease promptly, you are not just safeguarding your smile but also nurturing your overall well-being.
