Many people are unfamiliar with the term gum problems and don’t recognize when the warning signs of gum disease occur.

Dr.Nechupadam Dental, a leader in Dental care, is highlighting the importance of preventing gum problems and how to recognize the signs of gum disease.

Plaque

The early symptoms of gum problems are

  • Gums that are swollen or red and bleed easily. If left untreated, gum problems may progress to periodontitis, which is a severe form of gum problems and can sometimes even result in tooth loss.

Many adults believe that they are already doing everything they can to protect their mouths and do not realize that red gums or minor bleeding during brushing or flossing can be a sign of gum problems. Gum problems are caused by plaque bacteria at the gum line that can cause gums to swell. When left untreated, it can lead to a more serious form of gum problems, known as periodontitis, an infection in the ligaments and bones that support the teeth. Periodontitis, if left untreated, can be a major cause of tooth loss in adults. Also, some research suggests there may be a link between the signs of gum disease or periodontitis and other health problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and pre-term birth. So please do note the symptoms and make sure to live life happily..
