Protect Yourself from Gum Disease with a Few Intentional Habits

Gum disease is a minor issue when it first starts. Gingivitis is the earliest stage of gum disease and it is characterized by gums that are inflamed and bleed when you floss. Gingivitis is not typically painful and can often be reversed by changing some of your oral care habits. The severe stage of gum disease, periodontitis, is a lot different from gingivitis. Periodontitis can cause pain, receding gums, and in some cases even tooth loss. Reversing periodontitis is much more difficult than reversing gingivitis. Periodontitis treatment typically requires the intervention of a dentist or gum disease specialist. There are some things you can do to protect yourself from gum disease so you do not suffer the consequences that can come from living with untreated gingivitis or periodontitis.

Gum Disease: Factors That Put You at Risk

The earliest stage of gum disease – gingivitis – is typically mild. You may experience some sensitivity and notice your gums bleed when you brush or floss. Some people also notice that their gums look inflamed or red when they have gingivitis. Treating and reversing gingivitis is usually very simple and can be done at home. Improving your oral hygiene routine is typically all it takes to reverse a mild case of gingivitis. If you do not catch and effectively treat gingivitis it can turn into a more serious type of gum disease called periodontitis. Periodontitis can lead to pain, receding gums, cause your gums to separate from your teeth, and, in severe cases, cause tooth loss. Treating periodontitis is more difficult than treating gingivitis and requires the help of a professional. The best way to avoid the negative side effects that come with gum disease is to take steps to prevent it. Successfully preventing gum disease starts with understanding what factors put you at risk.
