How to Identify Gum Disease This Can Be a Mouthful
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection within your gums, the tissue that surrounds and helps to hold your teeth in place. Bacteria, mucus, and food particles tend to hang out in our mouths, leaving behind plaque, a sticky and colorless substance, on our teeth. If plaque hardens, it can leave behind an even stronger substance, known as tartar, which can only be removed via professional cleanings. This bacteria, plaque, and tartar can all cause an infection within your gums. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly 47% of adults 30 years of age and older have some form of gum disease. Gum disease typically goes undetected because pain is not a common symptom. However, here are some signs that may indicate gum disease:
• Loose permanent teeth
• A difference in the way your teeth fit together when you bite • A difference in way partial dentures fit in your mouth
Smoking, chewing tobacco, genetics, poor oral hygiene, diabetes, pregnancy, and crooked teeth that may be difficult to floss and brush, and certain medications that dry out your mouth all have the potential to increase your risk of developing periodontal disease. Remember, when it comes to any problems in your mouth, the sooner you get to your dentist’s office to treat it, the better. If you’ve noticed you are experiencing any of the common symptoms of gum disease or if you’re overdue for a cleaning, give us a call today!
