Did you know that around 75% of this group currently has gum disease? Many folks don\u2019t even realize that they have gum disease because there aren\u2019t many symptoms or much pain associated with it at first, and this is why regular visits to your dentist are so important. Your premiere dentist in Syracuse, NY discusses how to prevent gum disease.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>What is Periodontal Disease?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/oral-health\/guide\/gingivitis-periodontal-disease\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Periodontal disease<\/a> is an infection of the tissues and bone that surround your tooth. It occurs when plaque build up causes your gum tissue to separate from your tooth, allowing bacteria to enter below the gum line and attack your bone. In its advanced stage, known as periodontitis, gum disease will cause your bone to deteriorate and lose density, which puts your teeth at risk for loss.<\/p>\n<p>Gingivitis is the beginning stage of gum disease, and it\u2019s in this stage that you may notice your gums are red, swollen or bleed when you brush. These symptoms are the early indicators of gum disease and you should contact your dentist right away. The good news is that gingivitis can be managed effectively with a thorough cleaning and improved home care, and in some cases it may even be reversed.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Prevent Gum Disease?<\/h3>\n<p>Prevention is the key when it comes to gum disease, and your dentist is your first line of defense. Periodontal disease can be controlled if it\u2019s caught in it\u2019s earliest stages and this is why it\u2019s recommended that you see your dentist every six months or twice per year. Your dentist will be able to detect gum disease before you can, thus giving you the best chance to treat it with the least invasive treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Excellent home care is another key to preventing gum disease. Brushing and flossing daily will remove the plaque build up that causes gum disease. Your hygienist can give you tips for improving your brushing and flossing techniques, which will help improve your home care and decrease your chances of developing gum disease. You may also consider investing in an electric brush, which most patients find helpful in maintaining optimum oral care.<\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cerecuse.com\/periodontal-therapy.html\">Creative Dental Concepts<\/a> our highly skilled team of doctors and hygienists is well equipped to guide you through any stage of gum disease that you may be managing.
