Do you know that the most prevalent cause of tooth loss among adults is gum disease? The good news from The Lewisville Dentist is that gum disease treatment is easy if it is detected in the early stages.
Regular check-ups are critical, but there are warning signs for gum disease that everyone should be looking for.
1. Gums that bleed easily
2. Gums that are tender, swollen, or very red, or gums that have visible pus in between them when they are pushed
3. A bite that changes suddenly so that your teeth don’t seem to fit together correctly
4. Receding gums
5. A bad taste in the mouth or chronic bad breath
6. Loose or separating teeth
If you are experiencing these symptoms, schedule an appointment. Since plaque causes gum disease, removing plaque through regular flossing is the key to healthy gums.
Gum disease can also raise your risk of conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. That makes early detection and treatment all the more important.
