  • What are the most visible signs and symptoms of a gum disease?

    Hello! The first signs of gum disease are puffy and red gums. A mouth odor is a possible sign of improper or insufficient tooth brushing. Once the gums bleed to the touch of the toothbrush or if you consistently see a tinge of blood in the expectorate in the sink, you've reached a more intense level of gingivitis. The best practice is to brush and floss your teeth at least twice a day. Please also see a reputable family dentist bi-annually for a thorough cleaning and dental check-up. I would also recommend checking the level of tooth brushing of your children every night while they are very young. Ask your dental hygienist to instruct them on the proper way to brush and floss to develop healthy hygiene habits at a young age. The best quick-check area to check for quality of toothbrushing on your children is at the gum line of their teeth--both top and bottom. Don't forget the sides of the back teeth and tithe tongue side of the teeth! Hope this was helpful! READ MORE
