One of the warning signs that should be consulted with a dentist is bleeding gums, as it can be a premise for periodontal disease. This type of disease is characterized by inflammation and bleeding, and over time, it can affect the soft tissues and bones that support the teeth. In extreme cases and when these symptoms are not treated by a specialist, the patient may experience total or partial loss of teeth.
Bleeding Gums
The accumulation of bacterial plaque irritates our gums, and if not removed in time, it calcifies turning into dental calculus (tartar), compromising the environment around the teeth and leading to more serious problems such as recessions, pockets, and tooth loosening. Good brushing and Professional Cleaning every six months can prevent these problems, which are also the main cause of bad breath (Halitosis). It’s important to know that tooth loss and/or misaligned teeth can cause accumulation of bacterial plaque and calculus, which is why it’s important to replace lost teeth and/or correct their position with Orthodontics, thus facilitating Dental Hygiene.
