You may not realize that persistent soreness, swelling, and bleeding in your gums are warning signals of gum disease—a potentially severe infection that, if untreated, could lead to tooth loss.
Fighting gum disease is a daily battle for millions, as over 75 percent of Americans over the age of 35 suffer from some form of gum disease.
Gum bleeding represents an early stage of gum disease, which can escalate to tooth loss if not addressed. Despite minimal or no discomfort, it is a serious condition that should not be ignored.
Bad breath, or halitosis, can stem from poor oral hygiene practices and may signal underlying health issues. It can also be due to poor dietary choices and unhealthy lifestyle habits.
If our assessment confirms your mouth’s health but doesn’t identify oral-related odor, we may refer you to your family physician or a specialist to determine the source and treatment plan for your bad breath.
But if the origin is oral, we can help.
Persistent bad breath or an unpleasant taste may be early indicators of gum disease. Gum disease results from plaque buildup on teeth and needs treatment.
Dry mouth, medically known as xerostomia, can also contribute to bad breath. Saliva is essential for moistening and cleansing the mouth, neutralizing plaque-related acids, and washing away dead cells on the tongue, gums, and cheeks. If left uncleared, these cells decompose, leading to bad breath.
Our dedicated team at Pannu Dental Group is committed to helping patients combat these serious dental concerns.
Effective oral hygiene routines and regular dental check-ups are the best ways to halt gum bleeding and bad breath.
Thoroughly cleaning your teeth and gums reduces the risk of developing bleeding gums and progressing to severe gum disease that may need surgery or LANAP.
