how to know if you have gum disease in 5 minutes.

The symptoms are pretty obvious to spot, but they can be disregarded by the hectic nature of our daily lives. Here’s how to know if you may have gum disease in 5 minutes:

 

  • Bleeding gums when you’re brushing your teeth

 

  • Bleeding gums when you’re flossing

 

  • Bleeding gums when you’re eating hard foods, such as apples.

 

  • Swollen, red, or sore gums

 

Check to see if your gums bleed or if you have any of the following symptoms. Next, I’ll explain why it’s SO important to take action immediately.

 

 

Why It’s Important To Take Action Immediately

 

 

Now that we understand how to identify it yourself without visiting your local dentist, it’s time for you to take immediate action.

 

The consequences of not taking action NOW are irreversible if left too long. You need to immediately contact your dentist and explain the whole situation.

 

What happens if it’s left untreated?

 

  • Gingivitis will occur—inflammation of the gums. The symptoms you’ll experience at this stage won’t be pleasant, but again, they are treatable. (REVERSIBLE)

 

  • Then periodontitis will develop if the issue is left untreated, which will cause tooth loss and other permanent damage to your oral health. Once you’re at this stage, your tooth structure becomes severely weakened and damaged. (IRREVERSIBLE)

what to do next

 

Like I mentioned in the previous section, you need to contact your dentist immediately. Don’t leave this too long, as this could be a costly mistake.

 

Explain the whole situation and mention that you believe you have gum disease. If you live near me, give me a ring on: 07869322235

 

Let’s get you back on track!
