Is gum disease and tooth pain affecting you? Call your local Dentist, Forster Dental Centre, to make an appointment today

The treatment of gum disease is quite easy to manage if you understand what the symptoms are.

Gum disease is commonly referred to as Gingivitis which is a bacterial infection that occurs in and around the gums, often resulting in bleeding gums.

Gum disease or Gingivitis often starts with inflammation of the gums. This swelling then leads to gums that bleed when pressure is applied, such as when you are brushing or flossing your teeth.

Many people do not see their dentist or dental hygienist at the first instance of bleeding gums, as often they do not experience any pain. Leaving this unchecked and untreated poses the risk of you developing a much more serious disease, Periodontitis which often leads to you losing your teeth… and nobody wants that!

This form of gum disease is one of the main causes of tooth loss in adults and really should not be ignored!
