Treating And Curing Gum Disease
Do you ever see traces of blood when you brush or floss? If you do, you could be seeing the early stages of gum disease, or gingivitis as it’s commonly known.
Luckily, if caught in the early stages, gum disease is reversible with a few changes to your oral care routine.
It’s important to make these changes as soon as you notice pain, swelling, or bleeding as – if allowed to develop – gum disease can affect the health of your entire body.
If gingivitis is allowed to flourish, it can morph into more serious gum disease, periodontitis, and then you’ll need to visit us at Simply Smiles Dental in order to cure it.
While we’ve all lost teeth as a right of passage during childhood (remember, the Tooth Fairy visited?), losing a tooth as an adult is a traumatic experience, particularly when the tooth is lost as the result of an accident.
A beautiful smile creates a huge impact on people around you and also boosts self-confidence.
Dental Health Week, which takes place in the first full week of August, is the Australian Dental Association’s major annual oral health promotion event. Its aim is to educate Australians about the importance of maintaining good oral health in every aspect of their lives.
