Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease is also known as what is called periodontal disease. This disease starts with gingivitis, which can be detected by red, swollen, and bleeding gums. Gum disease can be caused by poor oral hygiene. Smoking, diabetes, and genetic predispositions can also increase the risk of developing gum disease. If left untreated, it can cause the gums to recede and cause the teeth to become infected. To prevent gum disease, it’s important to maintain good oral health by brushing and flossing twice daily and coming to your regular checkups and cleanings.
The Impact on Your Oral Health
Gum disease has a huge impact on your oral health. Leaving this disease untreated can result in gum and bone loss and tooth loss. This will impact how you chew food, speak and cause constant bad breath. It’s important to seek treatment for gum disease as soon as possible to prevent further health issues.
The Importance of Periodontics
Periodontics is a specific area in dentistry that specializes in treating gum disease. Periodontists specialize in many different procedures, some include serious gum problems, restoring gum health, and putting in dental implants.
