Gum disease is no laughing matter. Sore and bleeding gums could be much more dangerous than you think. Periodontal disease has been directly linked to heart disease and shows just how connected your oral health and your overall health really are.
WHAT IS PERIODONTITIS?
Periodontal disease is an infection in the gum, and the bacteria can work their way directly into your bloodstream. The heart is the pump of your body and therefore pumps the harmful bacteria through your body and eventually back through your heart.
Look through the following common symptoms of gum disease, periodontal disease or periodontitis:
- Halitosis, or persistent bad breath.
- A receding gum line.
- Loose teeth.
- Tender gums.
- Sensitive teeth.
- Red or swollen gums.
- Painful chewing.
- Bleeding gums.
