Gum problems spot the five signs
The conditions that cause us discomfort are often
surprisingly sneaky. Gum disease is a common oral
health problem that is surprisingly easy to
overlook.

Around half of the American adults suffer from
gum disease, also known as periodontal disease.
Gum disease causes a plethora of oral issues from
sore, bad breath, and swollen gums, jaw bone
deterioration, and tooth decay. Gum disease has
severe effects on your dental health. It is a
chronic condition that can proceed quickly in
different people. This leads to infected or loose
teeth in the worst cases and needs to be removed.
You may have gum disease and that too
unknowingly. Luckily, you can treat gum disease
with the help of your dentist. We know that there
is a close connection between bleeding gums and
how we brush and floss. And most people do not
brush and floss enough. But removing plaque is
one part of the story. Gum disease is a sign of
many other issues related to the body. If you
suspect you have gum disease, then these five
signs may tell you it is time to see the dentist

Gum problems spot the five signs
Your Gums are Discoloured As periodontal disease
progresses, your gums respond by becoming darker
in color. While healthy gums are light pink to a
soft red, infected gums are bright red to an
almost black hue. You may notice healthy portions
of gum tissue but also see mottled red or
purplish spots in your mouth, especially behind
teeth where brushing is more difficult. Your
Gums are Tender Do your gums bleed when you floss
or brush your teeth? Are your gums tender to the
touch or feel achy throughout the day? In
addition to having tender gums, the roots of your
teeth may also feel tender or more sensitive,
making your mouth feel like it is tight or in a
small vice. Red gums, Gum swelling or sore gums
may also accompany bleeding. Tooth sensitivity
can also occur and can be caused by the gum
recession from the infected bleeding gums. It is
common to ask if your dentist Porterville ca stop
flossing when your gums are bleeding.

Your Breath is Foul Chronic bad breath should
always be checked out by your dentist because bad
breath can be a sign of oral decay. Press gently
on your gums and see if your breath worsens or if
a foul-tasting liquid emits from your gum tissue
if your gums are a cause of your bad breath, this
small test will help confirm your
suspicions. Tooth Sensitivity Gum pocketing or
recession can lead to the sensitivity of the
tooth. Sensitivity may be a symptom of gum
disease in these cases. Chronically inflamed gum
tissue is exposed to the root surface of the
tooth. This exposed root makes the tooth more
susceptible to tooth sensitivity, decay, and
potential tooth loss.

Your Jaw Hurts Does your jaw feel tight and
achy? You may have an oral health issue causing
your jaw to feel tight or sore, and gum disease
is one of these concerns. Other causes for jaw
pain include teeth grinding and poor tooth
alignment, so don't ignore this discomfort. Gum
disease can be a warning of your body's overall
health. See it as a dashboard for other issues in
your gut, mouth, immune system, and heart.
