Who doesn’t want a stunning smile? If you have gum disease, your teeth often suffer too. If you have cavities or suspect you may have gum issues, then Dr. Marco Morales and Dr. Angel Diaz-Norrman at Periodontal World in Miami, FL can help you determine the best ways to prevent periodontal disease, and also rectify the damage that gum disease may have already caused.
Why Does Gum Disease Happen?
Gum disease, otherwise known as gingivitis, is preventable, but a common disease caused by bacteria that accumulates between teeth and at the gum line, causing irritation, swelling, and damage to teeth, eventually. Although it is most often a result of a lack of brushing and flossing, it can also happen when hard-to-reach places in the mouth are neglected and bacteria have a chance to flourish there. Wisdom teeth or areas around crowded teeth are notorious harbors for bacteria that can cause gingivitis. There are dental solutions to both so that you can achieve fantastic oral health.
What Happens When Gum Disease Goes Unchecked?
If gum disease starts to develop without you being aware of it, it can cause all kinds of dental issues:
- Cavities
- The need for a root canal
- Loss of teeth
- Gum recession
- Tooth damage
- Discolored teeth
- Tooth sensitivity
If you think that you might have the beginnings of gum disease, it’s best not to wait to find out. If you’re just eager to prevent gingivitis from happening in the first place, you should schedule a regular dental appointment to assess your oral health. Your dentist can diagnose gum disease and also suggest dental procedures to keep it from spreading and damaging your beautiful smile.
