Achieve Optimum Holiday Health With Gum Disease Symptoms

If you have not already done so, set forth an effective oral health care treatment plan to keep your mouth safe from any tooth hazards, dental damage, or diseases that can arise. One of the most common forms of the disease that can plague an individual’s mouth is through infections of your gum tissue known as gum disease. Gum disease, often known as periodontal disease, can progress over a period of many years, and can often linger in your mouth without you being fully aware of it. To help keep your smile safe, look for signs and symptoms of gum disease.

Always check your smile for any signs of gum disease that may be present. Due to the fact the infections present with gum disease can progress over many years, it may take a while for symptoms to become apparent as well. However, if you notice any irregular or abnormal signs with your gums including any signs of inflammation, abnormal swelling, or an increased sensitivity or tenderness, it may be linked to gum disease.

Furthermore, if you notice that your bleeding more frequently, especially after mealtime or from brushing or flossing, it could be a sign of potential infections with your gum tissue. Other common symptoms of gum disease include recurring bouts of halitosis, loose or separating teeth, issues and ailments when chewing food, the presence of pus or sores, and a recession of your gums.

How To Age Gracefully And Keep Your Smile

Losing your teeth is a natural and unavoidable part of the aging process, right? Wrong, actually. Your teeth are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. True, teeth become more susceptible to decay and disease over time, but you can preserve your natural smile for life by following these steps:

Visit the Dentist Regularly

Your visits to the dentist may need to occur more frequently as you get older, especially if you are struggling with a chronic condition such as gum disease. Dr. Bryant Birch can diagnose dental problems before they reach an advanced stage that threatens the health of your smile, and he will create a customized treatment plan that accommodates your personal preferences and fits your lifestyle well.

Care for your Smile at Home

The health of your smile depends on your oral care habits. Brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing daily prevents plaque from attacking your tooth enamel and gum tissue and causing problems for your smile.

Consider the Medications You Take

Certain medications can contribute to dental problems such as dry mouth, gum disease, and bad breath. If you have noticed any negative changes in your dental health since you began taking a new medication, speak with Dr. Bryant Birch and your general doctor about changing your prescription.

Eat Your Way Toward Dental Health

The foods you eat can help or harm your smile. We encourage you to avoid sugary or acidic foods, as these attack tooth enamel and weaken your teeth. Healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, and dairy food boost your oral health and reduce your risk of tooth decay.

Smaller Tooth Nerves Equal Larger Cavities

Do you wonder why cavities seem to appear out of nowhere with little to no warning? Actually, cavities develop for some time before symptoms begin to appear, and if your teeth have lost sensitivity, they are less likely to register the presence of a cavity.

Over time, the nerves in teeth can grow smaller and become less effective, resulting in reduced sensitivity to tooth decay. As a result, tooth decay can develop into large, invasive cavities before your teeth are aware that a problem exists. For older patients who have weakened teeth, this can mean the loss of a tooth.

To reduce the risk of extensive tooth decay, we encourage you to visit Birch Family Dental twice a year for a thorough dental exam by Dr. Bryant Birch and our team. We will perform a full analysis of your smile, using dental X-rays to see what is not visible on the surface, to screen for even the most trace amounts of tooth decay or other dental problems. If a problem is revealed during this exam, our dentist will help you create a customized treatment plan to eliminate the decay and restore your smile to full health.

As you age, it is imperative that you continue to visit the dentist at regular intervals for important dental exams. We encourage you to give Birch Family Dental a call at 307-875-3658 today if you are due for your next dental exam in Green River, Wyoming.
