Gum Disease
Nine out of ten Canadians will develop gum disease at some point in their lives. This is the problem the most common dental. Les maladies de gencive peuvent se développer de façon indolore jusqu'à l'apparition d'un réel problème. That is why it is so important to prevent gum disease before they become too serious.

Gum disease begins when plaque adheres to the visible part of the gingival sulcus or below. If one does not have this plaque with daily brushing and flossing, hardening, it turns into tartar (also called calculus).

There are two main kinds of gum disease: gingivitis and periodontitis. If you have gingivitis, your gums may be slightly red, but you might as well not to notice. If gingivitis more advanced, you may find that your gums swell and bleed when you brush your teeth. Periodontitis is a form of gum disease worse in which comes in the bone that supports your teeth. Over time, due to bone loss caused by periodontitis, you may lose one or more teeth.

Prevention is the main factor in the fight against diseases of gum. It is vital to keep your teeth and gums clean. Brush your teeth properly at least twice a day and flossing at least once every 24 hours.

While brushing your teeth is just as important to have a good technique for cleaning with dental floss. Be sure to consult your dentist regularly to conduct a professional cleaning of your teeth and an assessment of oral health that will enable it to detect any early manifestation of gum disease on the one hand, and to provide treatment you need the other.
