How to cure gum infection.
Gum Infection, the facts
Gum infection or disease, can be known as periodontal disease. This is an infection of bone and tissue around your teeth.
Gum diseases get in under the gum line and break down the gum tissue.
The 2 stages of this gum infection
Gingivitis
which is fairly easily treatable, where you have reddened and bleeding gums, especially seen after brushing or flossing, and
Periodontal disease
which is very serious, where the bacteria in the mouth grow and damage the bone that supports the teeth, you get pus in your mouth, the gums shrink back and you may have to get your teeth pulled out or they could just fall out by themselves.
You could be more inclined to gum infection if you
- Suffer from diabetes
- Are suffering a lot of stress
- Chew or smoke tobacco
- Have uneven teeth or poor fillings
- Have hormonal fluctuations
- Have a bad diet
- Don’t have good oral hygiene
Cure gum infection by avoidance and treatment
First, remove your plaque
All of us develop plaque; soft plaque needs to be removed by regular brushing with a good quality toothpaste and hard plaque (tartar) has to be taken off by a dentist.
Mild cases can be rectified by brushing with a good toothpaste (most popular brands have too many drying agents in them, so beware), flossing every day and going to see your dentist regularly.
In advanced cases, you may need antibiotics or even surgery.
