Causes of Gum Disease
Prevent gum disease with Dr. Vahid Bashi’s guidance on maintaining oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings. Protect your smile from bacteria and potential tooth loss.
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, arises from various factors, primarily due to bacteria accumulating around the teeth. Initially, this bacterial presence leads to gum inflammation, characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums. If left untreated, the condition can progress to bone loss and potentially result in the loss of teeth.
The most effective prevention method is to maintain daily oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing, and to ensure regular dental cleanings every six months. These visits allow for early detection and diagnosis of any emerging issues, enabling us to prevent them from worsening.
