In many ways, the health of your gums is more important than that of your teeth. Gums are fragile and harder to repair, and when they’re compromised your entire mouth can suffer. This is why our Lynnwood dental clinic offers extensive periodontal care, and encourages you to watch out for these warning signs of gum disease:
- Your gums bleed easily, particularly after proper brushing or flossing.
- The gums are inflamed, changing color and swelling up to an unusual size.
- Pus appears in between your teeth and gums.
- Your gum line is retreating from your teeth, exposing the roots of the teeth.
- You experience bad breath that doesn’t go away..
- You have a bad taste in your mouth that you cannot account for.
- Your teeth no longer fit together the way they used to.
- Your teeth are coming loose.
Gum disease is among the leading causes of tooth loss among adults, but it is easily treated if it is caught in its early stages. If you experience any of these warning signs, don’t hesitate to call Song’s Lynnwood dental center.
