Proactive Measures to Avoid Gum Disease
Understanding Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, affects the teeth, gums, and jawbone. If untreated, it can lead to severe issues such as cavities, gum irritation, loose teeth, tooth loss, and jaw pain. Gingivitis, the initial stage of gum disease, is characterized by bleeding gums due to plaque buildup. This early stage is often manageable with regular brushing, flossing, and using a fluoride mouthwash.
The Importance of Oral Hygiene and Treatment
Good oral hygiene is crucial to preventing periodontal disease by removing plaque that can erode tooth enamel and cause infections. At Whole Health Dentistry, we use advanced tools like OralDNA and saliva testing to detect harmful pathogens early and prevent the progression of gum disease. Practicing proper oral care and attending regular dental checkups are essential for maintaining gum health and overall well-being.
