Learn how to recognise early signs of gum disease, protect your gums with simple daily habits, and explore treatment options available at our Dhule clinic.
What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. It starts with inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and can progress to damage the bone and ligaments that hold teeth in place.
Early Signs to Watch For
- Red, swollen or tender gums
- Bleeding while brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums or longer‑looking teeth
- Loose teeth or changes in bite
How to Prevent Gum Disease
Daily Oral Hygiene
Brush twice a day with a soft‑bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Floss daily to remove plaque from between teeth.
Healthy Lifestyle Choices
- Limit sugary snacks and drinks
- Avoid tobacco use – smoking increases risk
- Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins C and D
Regular Dental Check‑ups
Visit Dr. Sisodiya’s clinic at least twice a year for professional cleaning and early detection.
