Did you know that gingivitis, the early stage of periodontal disease, can be difficult to recognize? That's why September is National Gum Care Month. Many people don’t recognize the warning signs, bleeding and swollen gums, as a precursor to gum disease. Do NOT wait until you experience pain to see the hygienist. If you wait til pain ensues, you may have more major problems. This month, a national campaign is under way to raise awareness about gum health and periodontal disease, and we want to help do our part to spread the word!
Dr. Green can tell you that early recognition and action are the most important steps to health gums, and ultimately a health body, too! Studies are published every year linking oral health, including the gums, to the health of other areas of the body, such as your heart. One of the most important steps to improving the care of your gums is recognizing the warning signs for gum disease. These can include:
If you happen to notice any of these signs, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Green or Melissa, our hygienist. Our team can take proactive steps to prevent gingivitis and gum disease, while showing you how to improve gum care in your daily oral hygiene habits.
