🦷 What is Gum Disease and How to Prevent It?
Gum disease (also known as periodontal disease) is a common issue that can affect your oral health — and your overall well-being. Left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and even increase the risk of heart disease.
Here’s how to spot it:
⚠️ Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
⚠️ Bad breath that doesn’t go away
⚠️ Receding gums or loose teeth
How to prevent it?
✔️ Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
✔️ Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth
✔️ Visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups
✔️ Avoid smoking – it’s a major risk factor
Healthy gums = a healthy smile! If you’ve noticed any of these signs, don’t wait. Let’s catch it early.
