Are You at Risk for Gum Disease?
Gum disease is painless. It affects 87% of the population, and often victims are unaware.
There are early warning signs, and the American Dental Association and your dentist want you to be aware of them:
- Do your gums bleed when you brush your mouth or toothpick between them?
- Are your gums red, swollen, or tender?
- Are your gums pulling away from your teeth?
- Do you see pus between your teeth and your gums when the gums are pressed?
- Are your permanent teeth loose or separating?
- Is there any change in the way your teeth fit together when you close your mouth (bite)?
- Is there any change in the fit of your partial denture?
- Do you have bad breath?
If the answer is yes to any of these questions, you may want to bring it to the attention of your dentist or dental hygienist.
