When you greet someone, no matter
they are close friends or complete strangers, you can always break
down the barrier
by giving them a warm, friendly smile.
Meanwhile, if you show a set of clean teeth with healthy gums, your
smile will be even more charming.
On the contrary, if your teeth are unclean
and your gums are red and swollen, and perhaps with bad breath, that
will certainly spoil your
personal image. Among the people you meet
today, can you tell whose gums are healthy and whose gums are unhealthy?
How about yourself? Act now and check your gums, keep
them healthy to achieve a brighter smile.
Now check your gums and see if they
are pink, or red and swollen.
Red and swollen gums and bleeding easily are all
early symptoms of gum disease. Gum disease is a chronic disease of
the tooth supporting tissues. It is caused by the accumulation of
dental plaque around the teeth at the gumline, causing gum inflammation.
Without proper oral care, the condition may deteriorate to a more
serious stage that tooth supporting tissues will recede. The affected
tooth will become loose and eventually fall out as a result of inadequate
supporting tissue.
However, should the patient remove
dental plaque from their teeth every day with proper toothbrushing
and flossing
techniques during the initial stage of
gum disease, their gum health will be restored. In addition, we should
go and see a dentist every
year for dental check-up and the teeth
should be professionally cleaned in order to maintain the teeth and
gums healthy. Furthermore, since
the chance of smokers developing gum
disease is at least five times greater than that of non-smokers, please
don¡¦t smoke.
Brushing your teeth in the morning
and before bed at night and using dental floss daily to clean the
adjacent tooth surfaces are good teeth cleaning habits. By keeping
these habits, you will have healthy teeth and gums, fresh breath,
brighter smiles with self confidence and admiration gaze from others.
