Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition caused by the buildup of plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—on the teeth. It involves inflammation and infection of the gums, which, if left untreated, can lead to serious oral health issues.
The Importance of Gum Health
Maintaining healthy gums is essential for preserving your oral health and overall well-being. Healthy gums provide essential support for your teeth, helping to keep them firmly in place and preventing tooth loss. Additionally, gum health is closely linked to systemic health, with research suggesting a connection between gum disease and conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections.

Signs of Gum Disease
Detecting gum disease in its early stages is crucial for preventing further progression and complications. Common signs and symptoms of gum disease include:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding gums, especially during brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
- Receding gums or the appearance of longer teeth
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Changes in the fit of dentures or other dental restorations
- Preventing and Treating Gum Disease
Preventing gum disease starts with good oral hygiene habits, including brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and attending regular dental check-ups and cleanings.
At Lonsdale Dental Practice, we offer comprehensive periodontal evaluations to assess the health of your gums and identify any signs of gum disease early on. Depending on your individual needs, we may recommend professional cleanings, scaling and root planing, and other treatments to help restore gum health and prevent further damage.
