\"gum<\/a>When brushing and flossing, many people often experience bleeding gums. While many believe that slight bleeding is normal, bleeding gums is the first sign of gum disease. From the very first indication of gum disease, you need to take immediate action to treat the infection responsible for gum disease. Gum disease may not seem like a very big deal at first, however, when left untreated, gum disease will quickly progress to advanced stages of periodontal disease. Overtime, untreated gum disease will cause serious complications on your oral and overall health. Thankfully, gum disease treatment from your dentist in Edison can quickly stop and reverse the damages of gum disease.
\n<\/p>\n

Why Do I Need Gum Disease Treatment?<\/h2>\n

Gum disease (periodontal disease<\/a>) results from an infection in the gums. When proper oral hygiene and regular visits to your Edison dentist aren\u2019t maintained, plaque and tarter begin to accumulate around the gum line. Bacteria is present in plaque and tarter, causing an infection in the gums if not properly removed.<\/p>\n

The first stage of gum disease (gingivitis) causes the gums to become tender, swollen, and the gums often begin to bleed. Gingivitis is easily treatable with quick action and won\u2019t cause permanent damage to oral or overall health. However, when left untreated, gum disease will progress to the more advanced stages, which will eventually lead to tooth loss. In addition, research proves that gum disease is directly linked to negatively impacting your overall health.<\/p>\n

The bacteria responsible for gum disease can enter the bloodstream if the infection isn\u2019t treated. Once the bacteria enter the bloodstream, you have an increased risk for developing serious health complications. In fact, cardiovascular disease, respiratory illness, and even Alzheimer\u2019s disease has all been linked to untreated gum disease.<\/p>\n
