Gum Care!
Gum disease (also known as periodontitis) is a serious gum infection that damages gums and can destroy the jawbone. Without taking proper oral care, the early stages of gum disease may become present. Many people will overlook gums because they are often not seen. They are unaware that gums are an important part of your overall health. It is important to learn about the early stages of gum disease, and make sure you are taking care of your gums.
Early Signs
- Red and puffy gums that may feel tender when touched.
- Receding gum line.
- Bad breath.
- Blood when brushing your teeth.
- Sensitivity to hot or cold food.
- Pain when chewing.
