You\nmay not give your gums much thought normally, but the truth is you could even\nnow be suffering from gum disease that could ultimately cost you your dazzling\nteeth \u2013 and you might not even realize it. Celebrate National Gum Disease\nAwareness Month by learning about the signs of this condition and the importance\nof gum disease treatment in Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Gum Disease?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply put, gum disease is an infection. Oral bacteria that\nhas been allowed to build up in your mouth can enter the gums, attacking the\nsoft tissue. The earliest kind of gum disease is gingivitis, and at this point\nit can still be reversed relatively easily. However, if gum disease reaches the\nadvanced stage known as periodontitis, it won\u2019t be as easy to treat, and your overall\nhealth could be at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Signs of Gum Disease?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you noticed that your gums have become red and swollen\nlately? Or are you seeing bleeding gums in Lacey whenever you brush or floss? Have\nyou noticed that your teeth are starting to feel loose or seem to be shifting\nin your mouth? All of these symptoms could point to gum disease. If the\ninfection is in its later stages, you might even notice pus in the pockets\naround your teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that sometimes the symptoms of gum disease don\u2019t\nappear until extensive damage has already been done. As such, regular dental checkups\nwith your dentist in Lacey are the most reliable way to detect gum disease as\nearly as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens If You Ignore Gum Disease?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gum disease never gets better on its own. If you leave the\nbacteria in your gums to their own devices, sooner or later they\u2019ll destroy the\nligaments that attach the teeth to your jaw, and you could end up with multiple\ngaps in your grin. Your overall health could suffer as well; numerous studies\nhave linked gum disease to heart attacks, diabetes, strokes, and other perilous\nconditions. Thus, it\u2019s always better to seek treatment as soon as you can!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can Gum Disease Be Treated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By performing a procedure called scaling and root planing,\nyour dentist can remove the harmful bacteria from your gums along with any\ntartar that has accumulated on your teeth. This prevents further damage from\nthe infection and helps the gum tissue rejoin with the tooth. Scaling and root\nplaning can be performed with either traditional metal tools or a dental laser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you concerned about gum disease? Your dentist can perform an examination to see if a periodontal treatment is necessary; they can also give you some advice for keeping your gums healthy. Take the initiative in keeping the bacteria in your mouth under control so that your smile stays intact!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Christina Papageorgiou is committed to always providing the highest standards of care for her patients in Natick, which is why she has taken continuums from the Spears and Pankey institutes in order to further her education.
