Taking care of gums is equally important than taking care of teeth. Along with the jaw bones gums hold the teeth firmly in place and protects the below-the-gum-line tooth surfaces where protective enamel layer is not present. Gums disease, also known as Periodontal disease, is an infection of gums mainly caused by plaque and calculus which consists of harmful bacteria. Periodontal disease are mostly silent killers, that means most of the times patients don’t feel pain so they don’t realise that they suffer from it. Symptoms of gum disease could be Bleeding gums, bad odour (Halitosis), swollen gums, blood on spitting, bleeding while brushing, mobile teeth, pus discharge, etc.
Gums disease is a major cause of tooth loss after dental caries in young and adult patients. A regular visit to dentist and scaling procedure can help you achieve disease free oral cavity.
