People tend to prioritize their teeth over everything else mouth related because they are far more apparent and their ailments much more conspicuous than other gum diseases. For many of those who suffer from gum disease, the cautionary signs aren’t important until their condition has progressed into more serious stage and became a serious periodontal disease whose treatment is prolonged, costly and painful.

This oral health problem starts when plaque begins to set in the small gap between your teeth and gums. This plaque consists of tiny bits of food, mucus and bacteria that can easily lead to an infection which jeopardizes the health of both the gum and the teeth. Gum disease has been linked to a number of other, much more serious bodily ailments including heart problems.

Associated health issues :·

● Heart disease: Studies reveal that there

is a connection between this condition and

gum health. Once again, inflammation is

thought to be at the core of the relationship.

(especially Staphylococcus Aureus) can enter

the blood stream through diseased gym and

affects the heart’s valves, so it is highly

recommended to take it seriously.
