The most typical warning signs and symptoms of gum disease are frequently ignored. But, the condition might also exist without showing any symptoms. However, the following signs of gum disease can exist:
• Puffy or swollen gums.
• Gums that are bright, red
• Feel soft upon touching
• Bleeds quickly.
• An enduring case of bad breath.
• Gum & Tooth Infection
Gum disease progresses through five stages, each with distinct indications and symptoms:
1. Bleeding
2. Gingivitis
3. Early Periodontitis
4. Moderate Periodontitis
5. Advanced Periodontitis
Gum disease may initially be a problem that's simple to ignore, but it has the potential to develop into something much more dangerous. The disease can become severe enough to erode the supporting bone and lead to tooth loss if it is not treated.
Missing teeth, receding gums, sensitive teeth, aching mouths, persistent foul breath, and tooth loss can all result from delaying periodontitis treatment. Several significant health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and others, have been linked to gum disease.
Along with tooth cleanings, the treatment comes with a prescription mouthwash to use over time. Gum grafting, periodontal laser therapy, and dental implants are other options.
● Brushing the teeth thoroughly
● Using the appropriate toothpaste
● Daily flossing
● Use of mouthwash
● Getting routine dental examinations
● Giving up smoking
By adopting these habits, one can properly take care of their teeth and gums and so reduce their risk of developing gum disease.
I got 4 fillings, a root canal, a cleaning, and a crown put on with Dr. Patel, him and his team did an amazing job fixing the problems I had with my teeth with little to no pain at all! They were very understanding and comforting, always making sure I felt comfortable and was painless. Recovery from the root canal was as 99% pain free other than slight initial soreness, but Dr Patel got me medicine the same day and made sure I was all taken care of. 10/10 recommend!!!
