Frequently asked questions
What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is caused by a film of bacteria that forms on the surface of teeth known as plaque.
If plaque accumulates it hardens and becomes calculus (tartar). This build up causes gums to become red, swollen and inflamed, and the bone which holds the teeth can become weak and wear away, If left untreated this can lead to a variety of issues including tooth loss.
What Are the Signs of Gum Disease?
Here are some of the most common symptoms associated with gum disease:
- Bleeding gums, particularly during brushing or eating hard foods.
- Consistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth.
- Receding Gums
- Increased sensitivity to hot and cold
- Later stages of gum disease may cause gaps to appear between your teeth.
What Causes Gum Disease?
Gum disease can be caused by a range of different things, but poor oral hygiene is often the most common cause.
Irregular brushing, ineffective brushing and lack of flossing or cleaning in between your teeth will eventually lead to some form of gum disease.
