What is Gum Disease (Gingivitis)?<\/h2>\n
One of the most unpleasant oral diseases, gum diseases or gingivitis is pretty common nowadays. It describes inflammation of the gums that can vary in severity. Some cases may be mild, but in severe cases it can lead to serious oral health problems.<\/p>\n
It should be taken very seriously as even in its early stages, the disease is an indicator of looming periodontitis. If not treated on time, gum disease can do a lot of damage and even make you lose your teeth.<\/p>\n
Gingivitis makes your gums bleed easily during flossing or brushing. Even the slightest touch can cause bleeding in advanced forms of gum disease which is why it\u2019s important to catch it early.<\/p>\n
Symptoms of Gingivitis<\/h2>\n
A person suffering from gum disease usually experiences a few symptoms rather than just one. Here\u2019s an overview of the symptoms that indicate the disease:<\/p>\n
\n
Visually, your teeth look bigger \u2013 that\u2019s because they\u2019re pulling away from your gums<\/li>\n
Bleeding when brushing or flossing<\/li>\n
Red and swollen gums<\/li>\n
Constant bad breath<\/li>\n
Loose teeth<\/li>\n
Pus in interdental spaces<\/li>\n
White spots on the gums<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
These are not the only symptoms of gum disease. In advanced stages (e.g. chronic gingivitis) complications may arise. Leave the problem untreated and it will lead to periodontitis, which is often confused with gum disease.<\/p>\n
The Difference between Gum Disease and Periodontitis<\/h3>\n
As mentioned, these two diseases are often confused, but they\u2019re very different. Gingivitis occurs due to inflammation of the gums, while the latter is inflammation or infection in the bone underneath.<\/p>\n
Both are woven together so if you prevent gum disease, you will most likely stay away from periodontitis as well. If you don\u2019t, periodontitis can lead to deep gum pockets and eventually make your teeth fall out. You wouldn\u2019t want that, would you?<\/p>\n
Causes of Gingivitis<\/h2>\n
Gum disease doesn\u2019t occur because of one factor. As a matter of fact, it\u2019s usually a combination of a few causes that can lead to it.<\/p>\n
