Other problems include receding gums, gum disease, and tooth loss.

Gum Disease: Prevention and Early Detection

Early intervention of periodontal disease by your dentist can prevent the spread of oral bacteria and pathogens to other parts of the body. Maintaining healthy dental hygiene habits is essential to preventing periodontal disease. Still, gum disease susceptibility can be influenced by a variety of genetic factors. Similar to other diseases, genetic predisposition plays a significant role in many cases of periodontal disease.

Dental examinations and dental cleanings should be performed by your dentist regularly in order to identify gum disease early on.
