Gum disease stands as a prevalent chronic inflammatory disorder that impacts the vital tissues upholding both your gums and teeth. The primary instigator of this persistent inflammatory state is dental plaque, a composite layer comprising bacteria, food debris, and saliva adhering to the tooth surfaces. If left unchecked, this plaque can solidify into calculus or tartar, presenting a more formidable challenge for removal through regular brushing and flossing routines.
Preserving optimal dental health and halting the progression of gum disease necessitate the early identification of its telltale indicators. By adopting vigilant oral hygiene practices and promptly addressing the initial signs, you can take decisive measures to safeguard your oral well-being.
One of the most prevalent early indications of gum disease is bleeding gums, which can happen during brushing, flossing, or even while eating. Blood might be a sign that bacterial inflammation is making the gums more sensitive and irritated.
Chronic bad breath might indicate gum disease even after thoroughly brushing, flossing, and mouthwash. Bacteria found in the pockets produced between the gums and teeth are sometimes blamed for the offensive odour.
When the gum tissue recedes from the teeth over time, the tooth roots become visible. This may cause the teeth to seem longer and make them more sensitive. Gum disease that is progressing is commonly linked to gum recession.
Gum disease is distinguished by inflammation. Gums that are red, swollen, or painful to the touch may indicate persistent inflammation brought on by bacterial accumulation and the immune system’s reaction.
As gum disease worsens, the infection may threaten the stability of the ligaments and bones that hold the teeth in place. This could damage your bite and general dental function by causing teeth to become loose or to move position.
Gum disease can affect how your teeth are aligned, resulting in minute adjustments to your bite. These changes may make chewing uncomfortable and make it challenging to break down food effectively.
Janev2023-09-03I was referred to Dr Leo after 3 dental professionals had somehow missed out on diagnosing my gum problems. He was excellent. Calm, professional, experienced and very good at his job. He immediately found out the problem and worked out a treatment plan and home care strategies. Together they worked and my gum problems have greatly improved. I am very impressed and very grateful. Dr Leo knows his stuff and on the basis of my very positive experience, I highly recommend him. He has very good staff and a happy clinic which is a pleasure to visit
