Treating gum disease in East Village, East London.
Approximately a third of the population have chronic bad breath and just over two thirds of the population notice it on other people. The majority of cases of bad breath begin in the mouth and not in the stomach. Bad breath can be as a result of gum disease and some of the build up around the teeth that may not be removed by brushing alone. Another sign of this is bleeding of the gums, which is a sign that the gums may be infected or inflamed.
Periodontal disease occurs when the space between the teeth and the bones starts to increase and sometimes this can result in the bone breaking down. Eventually the teeth can become loose and may need to be removed.
Periodontal and gum disease can be controlled through brushing and cleaning between the teeth and in some cases this requires additional assistance from a dental professional. Your dentist will discuss this with you in more detail and explain how this can be treated if you are suffering from this.
