Do your gums bleed when you brush? Or do you brush less than once a day? Are you concerned that your gums are red, puffy and tender or have your closest friends start to avoid you because of bad breath? Any experiences with these symptoms may indicate that you have gum disease.
You may think that, at the very most, you may lose your teeth, but there are emerging evidence that gum disease is also linked to heart disease and preterm low birth weight babies.
Gum disease starts as a result of poor oral hygiene or cigarette smoking, allowing bacteria to invade your gum and producing toxins that cause a separation between the roots of your teeth and the supporting bone. Over time, your teeth will start to appear longer and the mobility increases cause spaces to open.
Do not hesitate anymore. Fight gum disease before it is too late!
