Common gum problems
You can protect your gums and teeth from the following problems by regularly visiting a dental hygienist:
Bad Breath
Bad breath is one of the primary reasons why people visit a dental hygienist. It can stem from poor lifestyle habits like incorrect brushing techniques or smoking. It may also indicate a more serious underlying problem, making it essential to have it checked.
Gingivitis
This early stage of gum disease is often a warning sign that something isn’t right. It leads to soreness, redness and inflammation in the gums — and bleeding while brushing or flossing in some cases. Regular hygiene visits can help manage the condition.
Periodontitis
Accumulated bacteria on the gum line can lead to inflammation and, If untreated, can progress to gum disease. Approximately 50% of UK adults have had some periodontal disease, so it is extremely common and can vary greatly in it's severity. Periodontitis has also been linked to several systemic conditions: There is a well established link between the control of gum disease and diabetes. Controlling one can greatly improve the control of the other condition. There are also links between periodontal disease and cardio vascular disease, dementia and alzheimers disease.
