Did you know that 45 million people are affected by gum\ndisease every single year? Turns out, it\u2019s also the leading cause of tooth loss\nin adults. What\u2019s even more startling is the fact that most people don\u2019t realize\nthey have gum disease until their teeth begin to loosen or they experience severe\npain. In it\u2019s earliest stages, gum disease is incredibly hard to catch, which\nis why a periodontist\nin Frisco<\/a> is prepared to help you look out for the signs. Keep reading to\nlearn how gum disease appears and the most common symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Does Gum Disease Develop?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gum disease starts as bacteria begins to form around the gum\nline and between teeth, two of the easiest spots for it to collect. Unfortunately,\nthe symptoms are practically non-existent at this stage, allowing the bacteria to\nprogress and multiply. As bacteria emits toxins, the gums begin to recede,\nleaving your teeth more exposed to plaque and tartar. If this bacteria reaches\nbelow the gum line, you\u2019ll need periodontal therapy to stop the symptoms. It\u2019s also\nthe same stage where tooth loss can occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five Signs That You Should Visit a Periodontist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Periodontal therapy can be costly, which is why it\u2019s so\nimportant to visit the dentist regularly. Professional cleanings as well as\nat-home oral care can help you avoid the majority of gum disease. However, if\nyou aren\u2019t sure if it\u2019s time to visit a periodontist for treatment, take note\nof the following symptoms below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gums that are red, swollen, or bleeding while brushing and\nflossing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the earliest and most common signs you\u2019ll notice\nif you have gum disease. You may also have chronic bad breath or a sour\/unpleasant\ntaste in your mouth, even after you complete brushing and flossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your gums are receding<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gum tissue recedes because it\u2019s trying to avoid the bacteria\nthat\u2019s constantly attacking it. This can also result in pockets forming in\nbetween teeth, making it even easier for bacteria, plaque and tartar to build\nup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You experience pain or sensitivity while eating.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If bacteria has reached the tooth\u2019s root, biting down can cause\npressure that results in pain, specifically around the tooth and gum tissue.\nYou may also notice general sensitivity, especially to extreme temperatures.\nAgain, this is largely due to the roots becoming more exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have a pre-existing condition or habit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some individuals are more prone to developing gum disease\nthan others. For example, if you have diabetes or use tobacco, you\u2019ll need to\npay closer attention to your gums and oral health. A periodontist can help you\nmanage your condition if you are a diabetic as well as help you discontinue\nyour tobacco habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your family\u2019s medical history includes gum disease.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your genes, you may be more susceptible to gum\ndisease than those around you. If your parents struggled with gum disease, you\u2019ll\nwant to make sure that you\u2019re taking the steps necessary to manage your own\noral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
