Gum disease: you may have it and not even realise
The trouble with gum disease is that by the time symptoms are apparent, it can be quite advanced. As gum disease has been linked with other diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, it is important to prevent or treat it as soon as possible.
Key takeaways:
– Signs of gum disease include swollen, red, or receding gums, bad breath and sensitive teeth.
– You can reduce the risk of developing gum disease by having a regular oral care routine.
– Make sure you regularly visit your dentist for checkups – don’t put it off!
“If this is not treated, the teeth may eventually fall out.”
