Causes and Warning Signs

Several factors can contribute to gum disease, including:

• Poor oral hygiene
• Smoking or tobacco use
• Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy or menopause)
• Certain medications
• Genetic predisposition

Warning Signs to Watch For:

• Red or swollen gums: Healthy gums are firm and pink. If your gums are red, puffy, or tender, it may indicate gum disease.
• Bleeding gums: Gums that bleed easily during brushing or flossing could be an early sign of gum disease.
• Persistent bad breath: Chronic bad breath that doesn’t improve with brushing or mouthwash may indicate underlying gum issues.
• Receding gums: If your teeth appear longer or your gums are pulling away from the teeth, it could suggest gum recession due to disease.
• Loose teeth: As gum disease progresses, teeth may become loose, and severe cases can result in tooth loss.

Prevention: Your First Line of Defense

Preventing gum disease requires consistent care. Follow these steps to maintain healthy gums and teeth:

• Brush twice daily: Use fluoride toothpaste and brush for at least two minutes each time.
• Floss daily: Clean between teeth and along the gumline to remove plaque buildup and food debris.
• Visit the dentist regularly: Schedule check-ups every six months for professional cleanings and thorough dental examinations.
• Maintain a healthy diet: Eat a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, and calcium-rich foods to support gum health.
• Quit smoking: Tobacco use increases the risk of gum disease. Seek support if you need help quitting.
