If you notice any of the following signs or symptoms, you may have gum problems:
If you have any of these signs or symptoms, it's important to see a dentist or other oral health care professional as soon as possible. Gum problems can quickly progress from less aggressive gum problems without you noticing any clear signs of it. If left untreated, the cause of the gum problems can extend to the supporting structures of the tooth and could eventually lead to tooth loss.
Gum problems are caused by the accumulation of germs along the gum line. It is one of the most common oral problems and first signs are often recognised too late. Failing to address the problem in time can have irreparable consequences. The health of your gums and teeth can also have an effect on your general wellbeing.
If your gums are tender when brushing or flossing, it could be a sign of gingivitis, which is an early stage of gum disease. If your gums recede or move away from your teeth, it could be a sign of periodontitis, which is a more advanced stage of gum disease. Persistent bad breath or bad taste in mouth can also be a sign of gum disease. Loose teeth can be a sign of periodontitis, which is a more advanced stage of gum disease. A change in the way your teeth come together can be a sign of malocclusion, which is a misalignment of the teeth. A change in the fit of partial dentures can be a sign of gum disease. Sharp or dull pains when chewing foods can be a sign of tooth decay. Teeth that are overly sensitive to cold or hot temperatures can be a sign of dental hypersensitivity.
Brushing your teeth twice a day with a toothpaste that contains fluoride will help prevent plaque build-up. Cleaning all interdental spaces and rinsing with a mouthwash solution that contains fluoride will also help to prevent plaque build-up. Regular visits to the dentist and professional dental hygienist are also important.
