Three Reasons Why You Should Take Good Care of Your Gums
Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is a serious condition which manifests itself through bleeding, receding gums, abscesses and loose teeth. If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to teeth falling out, and there is sometimes the risk of the jaw bone becoming infected.
Periodontal disease is easily prevented, but at Stony Brook Family Dentistry we see many patients who are ignorant of the warning signs and do not understand that their gums are just as important as their teeth. Here are three things that we want our patients to know:
1. Periodontal disease can be difficult to reverse
Your gums are quite resilient, and mild cases of gingivitis (gums that bleed when you brush your teeth) are usually reversible. However, true periodontal disease is a much more serious condition and it is harder to reverse. If your gums recede and your teeth get lose, it will be difficult to turn back the clock.
