Does brushing or flossing cause your gums to bleed or turn red? Do you feel or notice a shifting or looseness in your permanent adult teeth? These could be indicators of a condition known as gum disease. Gum disease is a predominant oral health issue among adults and a key contributor to permanent tooth loss. The team at Precision Dental Clinic, located in Dubai, UAE, is equipped to handle this and other common causes of bleeding gums to get your smile back to health and ensure you are taking proper care of the teeth and gums. Let’s take a closer look at gum disease to better understand the causes and treatment of bleeding gums and loose teeth caused by periodontitis.
Swollen, tender, bleeding gums are usually indicators of the initial stage of gum disease, often called gingivitis. This infection arises from an accumulation of bacteria and plaque resulting from inadequate oral hygiene habits. Gingivitis is usually characterized by receding gum tissue, bright red gums, and persistent bad breath.
Gingivitis is best described as your body’s immune response attempting to combat the harmful bacteria to heal the smile and reduce the infection. Nonetheless, if the plaque on the teeth is not removed, the disease progresses and starts attacking the jaw bone. If left untreated, gum disease, sometimes called periodontal disease or periodontitis, can lead to the loss of permanent adult teeth.
The reassuring aspect of gingivitis is its reversibility, achieved with timely attention from a professional. The initial step involves scheduling a dental exam at Precision Dental Clinic of Dubai, UAE, for an exhaustive examination and professional cleaning to rid your mouth of any tartar or hardened plaque. Often, this, coupled with improved oral hygiene habits, is all that is required to cease the progression of gingivitis.
If gingivitis worsens, our dental team may recommend additional treatments, such as periodontal gum therapy, gum tissue surgery, or expert deep cleaning methods like scaling and root planing.
One of the most effective strategies to avoid swollen, bleeding gums and loose teeth is to establish a regular oral hygiene routine each and every day. Ensure you brush your teeth at least twice daily and floss once daily to remove any food particles stuck between the teeth and prevent plaque accumulation. Also, regular dental check-ups at least every six months are vital to detect the early signs of gum disease when they can still be easily reversed!
