Most adults in the UK have gum disease to some degree, and it’s an issue that many individuals experience at least once in their lifetime. However, it’s much less common in children.

Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common yet serious oral health issue. It begins with the inflammation of the gums, often caused by plaque build up along the gumline. If left untreated, it can progress into more severe stages, potentially leading to tooth loss and other complications.

Causes of gum disease
Several factors contribute to the development of gum disease. Poor oral hygiene habits, such as inadequate brushing and flossing, allow plaque to accumulate, leading to gum inflammation. Additionally, factors like smoking, hormonal changes, certain medications, and genetic predispositions can increase the risk of developing gum disease.

Preventing gum disease
Prevention is key to maintaining healthy gums and avoiding the onset of gum disease. Adopting a thorough oral hygiene routine, including brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily, is paramount. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings enable early detection and treatment of any signs of gum disease. Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking and maintaining a balanced diet also play a crucial role in gum disease prevention.
