Gum
Diseases: They Are Preventable And Curable by Edward Green The human
body is a complex mechanism. We have to take care of it all the
time to remain healthy. Like other parts in our body, our teeth
and gum also need to be healthy all the time for our body to function
well. It has to be cleaned everyday, and treated well. We have to
take precautions so that no diseases attack them.
That is why we have to brush our teeth twice everyday, floss and
wash our mouth properly after every meal.If we don't keep our teeth
and mouth clean all the time, this is what happens. There are bacteria
in our body. The bacteria in our mouth, along with other substances
like mucus form a colorless sticky substance
that we call plaque. These plaques are formed around our teeth.
Cleaning our teeth and mouth regularly prevents these plaques to
form in any dangerous level. If we don't keep it clean, the plaque
can turn hard. When that happens, it will be difficult to get it
out by just brushing our teeth.
The hardened plaque is called 'tarter' and that tarter becomes more
harmful if you don't get it cleaned by dental medical practitioners
in time. The tarter thus formed will make our gums swell. The inflammation
in called 'gingivitis'. The inflamed gum will even bleed easily.
If we don't get it treated even at this point, it will lead to periodontitis.
The gum will loosen up causing the tooth to fall. It will harm other
bone in the mouth and tissues surrounding the gum.It is therefore
very important to identify the gum diseases in time to prevent it,
or cure it.Click here for the
