A warning has been issued to Brits over a"quiet disease" lingering in our mouths, leading to serious issues down the line.
With so many people at risk of long-term issues from gum disease, Dr Neiva, chairman of periodontics at Penn Dental Medicine and others have shared advice for spotting this"very, very quiet disease".According to Dr Deborah Foyle at the University of Dentistry in Texas, gum disease is"caused by bacteria on teeth — plaque — that release products that irritate the gums."of the disease is known as gingivitis and is easily avoidable through good dental hygiene.
Dr Foyle told the New York Times: “The bone supporting the teeth starts to break down, leaving the roots of the teeth exposed and sensitive in some cases."Those who have diabetes or grind their teeth are also at increased risk while those who get fewer cavities may be more prone to the disease as the gum disease bacteria has no competition.
