DON’T IGNORE YOUR BLEEDING GUMS

(Public awareness by Dr Haroon Dental Specialist Clinic Hayatabad Peshawar) Bleeding or painful gums are a very common dental complaint. Although common, if left untreated, this symptom can develop into a far more serious issue. Luckily, bleeding gums can be easily treated, especially if addressed early. WHY DO MY GUMS BLEED? • Aggressive flossing or brushing • Hormonal changes, such as during pregnancy • Smoking or poor diet • Poor dental hygiene Poor dental hygiene can lead to gingivitis, the mildest and most treatable form of gum disease. GUM DISEASE Gum disease occurs when plaque builds up on teeth. Plaque eventually becomes hard tartar, which collects bacteria. The bacteria irritate the gums, causing inflammation and bleeding. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. TREATMENT FOR GUM DISEASE AT DR HAROON DENTAL SPECIALIST CLINIC HAYATABAD PESHAWAR The early stages of gingivitis can be easily treated with a thorough dental cleaning and improved home oral hygiene. Your dentist may also recommend an antibacterial rinse to reduce inflammation and cure your gingivitis.
