Flossing and Other Keys to Preventing Gum Disease
Did you know that gum disease is actually the leading cause of adult tooth loss? When the gum tissue is unhealthy, it begins to pull away from the teeth, causing them to loosen and, if untreated, eventually fall out. Fortunately the symptoms of gum disease are often reversible, especially if it is detected early and treated properly. In many cases, a thorough dental cleaning is the best way to improve the gums’ health, though more invasive cleaning or periodontal therapy may be necessary if the condition has progressed past its first stage, which is known as gingivitis.
