What causes gum disease?

Gum disease is caused by plaque and bacteria buildup along the gumline. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes, and genetic factors can increase the risk of developing gum disease.

How can I prevent gum disease?

To prevent gum disease, brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist for regular cleanings. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding tobacco use can significantly reduce your risk.

‍

Does gum disease cause bad breath?

Yes, persistent bad breath (halitosis) is one of the common signs of gum disease. Treating gum disease can help eliminate the bacteria that cause bad breath.

Is gum disease reversible?

In its early stages (gingivitis), gum disease is reversible with professional cleanings and improved oral hygiene. However, once it progresses to periodontitis, more advanced treatment is required to manage the condition and prevent further damage.

How often should I have periodontal maintenance cleanings?

After gum therapy, most patients benefit from periodontal maintenance cleanings every 3 to 4 months to prevent the advancement of gum disease.

What are the signs of gum disease?

Common signs of gum disease include red, swollen gums, bleeding during brushing or flossing, gum recession, bad breath, and loose teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a dental appointment as soon as possible.
