Gum disease is one of the most common oral problems but they are the least attended ones. Here are a few signs of gum disease.
Here are a few signs to watch out for,
Bleeding
The first and obvious sign of gum disease is the presence of blood on your tooth brush. If you see blood during and after brushing your teeth or when eating food, get it as a sign. Bleeding with no apparent reason is a sign of gum disease.
Swollen gums
Swollen gums represent periodontal infection. These swollen gums can be extremely painful and are reason for great discomfort. These swollen gums are also among the signs of gum disease.
Sensitivity
When your teeth start getting sensitive, it means tooth decay and you start avoiding stuff which intensifies the problem. This sensitivity can also be due to the disguised gum disease and in some cases not because of tooth decay. So, it needs proper treatment not only prevention from certain foods and beverages.
Bad breath is another possible sign of gum disease. Presence of plaque, bacteria and decomposing food particles present in the mouth result in gum diseases which are responsible for Halitosis, aka bad breath.
Loose teeth
Destruction of bone and gum tissue causes teeth to loose and shifting teeth. With the tissues deteriorates, there is a big chance of teeth becoming more loosely attached. Big gaps also occur between the teeth due to shifting. This is a sign for gum disease and time to rush to your dentist.
