Protecting the Foundation of Your Smile
Microorganisms are part of every person’s biology, but improper daily hygiene allows unhealthy bacteria to spread throughout the smile, even beneath the gum line. Gum disease can be caused by vigorous brushing habits, causing gums to recede and granting bacteria access to sensitive areas. However, hygiene neglect is often responsible for advanced gum disease, or periodontitis.
Periodontitis impacts the health of teeth all the way down to the bone. Over time, this infection weakens structures that support teeth and even causes chronic bad breath. When periodontitis reaches bone tissue, bacteria can enter the bloodstream. Common symptoms of gum disease or its more severe form vary, and patients may experience the following:
- Sensitive or Bleeding Gums
- Receding Gum Line
- Bad Breath
- Spreading Teeth Stains
- Loose Teeth
- Unhealthy Smile Appearance
