Better Care for Your Gums at Holistic Dental Donvale Clinic If and when people do check their teeth the focus is on teeth while gums are largely ignored. Doing so can have disastrous long term consequences. Gums serve the vital function of protecting your teeth and if you neglect them you will be exposed to the risk of periodontitis as well as tooth loss. Take good care of your gums and get them checked at Holistic Dental Donvale clinic if you wish to protect your teeth.
Periodontal disease is a threat Neglect your teeth and plaque builds up. This causes gums to recede and as more plaque builds up the gums cannot grow back. What happens now is that bacterial infection due to plaque can cause gingivitis, the primary stage of gum disease. Your gums become inflamed and may bleed when you brush them. You assume there is nothing serious and continue to ignore this condition. Receding gums and loose gums can create pockets in which food particles lodge and promote bacterial growth that, in turn can cause periodontal disease. This is controllable but not curable and it is a threat since infection from here can spread to the heart and cause cardiovascular disease. Infection can penetrate to the root of the tooth and affect the bone. Your tooth is likely to fall out or has to be extracted. You should, however, not let matters progress to this stage. It does not take much time and effort to visit holistic dental Donvale clinic once in two months to check the status of your gums.
