Periodontitis

How To Prevent The Attack Of The Gum

Monster!

There’s a reason we call periodontitis a

“Gum Monster”!

And just so you do not underestimate this monster

and be wary of it…we bring you all the ‘dirt’ on it!

Periodontitis is a grave gum disease that can cost you your teeth. The effects of this disease range from gum inflammation to major tissue damage.

Although most people suffer from periodontitis, they do not realize their affliction until it is quite late. This is because the symptoms of declining oral and gum health are not always prominent or easily identifiable.

Only if you are watching for the symptoms of periodontitis, will you know that you are having periodontal disease early on. And if you carry on with some harmful activities like smoking, you are just calling for such issues as gum disease!

Sadly, even when it comes to your cute little kid, there’s no running away from gum disease. Juvenile periodontitis is a really scary reality – especially for kids.

But if your kid practises the Golden Rules of oral hygiene, he might escape the giant Gum-Monster yet! And his dentist can tell you if you need to get worried over his dental health or not.

And don’t worry – you can treat periodontitis, even without invasive treatments. The earlier you figure out you have periodontitis, the less ‘painful’ the treatment.

Meanwhile, brush, brush, brush, and floss, floss, floss, so that no bacteria can become an uninvited guest inside your mouth. Saying NO to bacteria = Saying NO to Periodontitis!
