BLEEDING GUMS, SWOLLEN GUMS, BAD BREATH and LOOSE TEETH are signs of GUM DISEASE. GUMS hold and support teeth in their position. BLEEDING GUMS is the first sign of gum disease or GINGIVITIS, which may occur after tooth brushing or during eating. PYORRHEA (pus discharge from gums) occurs when gum disease is left untreated causing bad breath and pain. GUM DISEASE is caused by certain bad bacteria in the mouth that may enter other organs and may be the cause of other diseases if left unattended. Proper GUM CARE includes brushing teeth twice daily, visiting a DENTIST twice a year & visiting a PERIODONTIST twice a year in case of previous history/family history for gum problems.
