When would you know that you are suffering from Gum Disease? Normally, in today’s busy life we forget to take care of our health and when it comes to dental hygiene, it comes to least of our attention. The signs of gum disease are mostly ignorant among us as you cannot recognize whether you have symptoms of gum disease. It is painless, so if you have any of the following symptoms contact your dentist immediately. The 5 major signs of gum disease are; Swollen, tender, red or bleeding gums If your gums bleed while brushing, do not neglect it, it may lead to periodontal disease. If you have any signs of swollen, red, tender or bleeding gums keep it as your topmost priority. Neglecting these signs could lead to advanced periodontitis. Gums that detach from the tooth: If your gums are attached to your tooth just 1-3mm, you can say your gums are healthy. But if it is more than 4mm, this case is of a worry. Presence of bad breath or taste in mouth: Persistent presence of bad breath is a way to gum disease, your gums may be affected with bacteria. Your neglecting can lead to spread of infection and hinder the jawbone of your teeth. After a while, your teeth may become extremely loose teeth.  Mobile teeth: Go through your teeth, if you have any loose teeth, it is a sign to Gum Disease. You would have no option other than extraction of that loose tooth.   Bacterial infection surrounding the teeth and gum: Bacterial infection that surrounds the teeth and gums form plaque buildup, who are the major reason for the Gum disease. Plaque is formed on teeth after brushing, it is a sticky substance leading to formation of pus and in turn periodontal disease.  Dr. Deepak Kamalanathan, one of the leading prosthodontists in Chennai, brings years of experience in advanced dental care to his flourishing practice at Apple Dental.
