Gum Disease Symptoms

Gum disease is often silent, meaning symptoms may not appear until the advanced stages. However, warning signs of gum disease include the following:

Red, swollen, or tender gums or other pain in your mouth

Bleeding while brushing, flossing, or eating hard food

Gums that are receding or pulling away from the teeth, causing the teeth to look longer than before

Loose or separating teeth

Pus between your gums and teeth

Sores in your mouth

Persistent bad breath

A change in the way your teeth fit together when you bite

A change in the fit of partial dentures

February is GUM DISEASE awareness month!

Because gum disease is painless until the final stages, it often goes unnoticed. The good news is that gum disease can be stopped. Gum disease can be easily detected by your dentist/periodontist during a dental examination. That is why regular checkups are important. Your dentist or dental hygienist may do a periodontal examination. This is when a small measuring instrument is inserted between the tooth and gum to measure how deep the pockets are between your teeth and gums. X-rays may be taken to look at the bone supporting the teeth.
If you notice these warning signs, see your dentist/periodontist immediately.

Why Your Gums Are the Foundation of a Healthy Smile!

Most people focus on their teeth when they think about oral health—but your gums do far more work than you may realize.

Your gums support and protect the teeth, anchor them in place, and act as a barrier against harmful bacteria. When gum health is compromised, even the healthiest-looking teeth are at risk.

Healthy gums are firm, pink, and do not bleed. When inflammation sets in, it can quietly progress below the surface—often without pain—until serious damage has occurred.

Gum disease doesn’t just affect your smile. It affects how long your natural teeth last.

Strong smiles start with healthy gums—and that foundation matters more than you think.

Oral Health For Seniors

Seniors are living longer than ever before. Advances in oral health care prevention and disease treatment mean that many seniors will have some or all of their natural teeth.

When we age, teeth undergo changes. Sometimes these changes are affected by chronic diseases and the use of medications. Some changes may include:

Sensitive teeth - teeth can be sensitive to hot or cold foods and/or touch

Exposed roots - gums may start to pull away from your teeth as you age. Exposed roots are exposed to bacteria that can cause cavities

Darker or yellower teeth - the colour of teeth naturally changes with age. Also, consuming staining food and drink over a lifetime can change the colour of teeth. Plaque also builds up faster as we age and can accumulate stains

Seeing an oral health professional on a regular basis is key to maintaining good oral health.
