  1.  When you consume carbohydrates, the sugars present in it blend with your saliva and bacteria in your mouth. This forms a film known as plaque that bonds to your teeth.  The plaque bacteria metabolize sugar and create acids and they are positioned perfectly to wear away tooth enamel thereby causing cavities.  Getting rid of plaque by flossing and brushing can help avoid future issues. However, if it stays on the teeth, it will build up and become firm to form tartar thus causing gum infection called gingivitis.  Here are 5 early signs of gum diseases that you should make a note of.

  2.  Bleeding while flossing, brushing or eating • Bleeding gums are the most basic sign of gum disease. It occurs when you floss or brush and at times due to the pressure of consuming chewy or hard foods.  Swollen, tender or red gums • Since the bacteria can produce infection, the gums might become swollen and look bright red, or even a bit purplish.  Constant bad breath • The bacteria present in the mouth create waste products that have a foul smell that causes bad breath.  Receding gums • As gum disease progresses and decays your gums, they tend to separate from the teeth. It might not be visible to your naked eye, but in several cases, the teeth look longer as the gums recede.  Pain while chewing • Your teeth will start to loosen and its position might shift slightly when the bone begins to erode. So, the teeth will not fit together causing pain when you chew food.
