Gum disease can affect up to 50% of the population! Gum disease can be caused by multiple factors such as smoking, poor oral hygiene, diabetes, some medications, stress, genetics and vitamin D levels. You might notice:
- Swollen, bleeding or shrinking gums
- Sensitive teeth
- Bad breath that doesn’t go away
- Pus around your gums
- Wobbly teeth.
Over time if left untreated , this may lead to discomfort and pain on eating or eventual tooth loss, making replacing these missing teeth more challenging.
