The disease can progress for many years with no symptoms and thus the first sign of the disease can be when the teeth start to become mobile- by this stage the damage has been done and the supporting bone of the teeth has been lost. Gum disease is caused by bacteria that grow on the tooth surface, the body defends itself against these microorganisms by attacking them as well as the the bone and gum around them.<br \/>\nThe symptoms of gum disease if there are any will be redness or bleeding of the gums while brushing teeth, a receding gum line, halitosis and eventually loose teeth.<br \/>\nGum disease has also been linked to other diseases such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes amongst others<br \/>\nHOW CAN YOU PREVENT GUM DISEASE?<br \/>\nRegular visits to the hygienist and dentist to screen for and treat the condition<br \/>\nGood oral hygiene including\u00a0brushing\u00a02x daily with an appropriate technique as well as \u00a0cleaning between the teeth with floss or interdental brushes 1x daily<br \/>\nStop smoking<br \/>\nWHAT CAN YOU DO IF YOU HAVE ADVANCED GUM DISEASE?<br \/>\nThere are various treatments offered by general dentists as well as periodontists (specialist gum dentists) to stabilise the condition if it is caught early enough.<br \/>\nOnce bone is lost it is very difficult to get back.<br \/>\nWHAT TREATMENT IS AVAILABLE FOLLOWING LOSS OF TEETH?<br \/>\nOnce a patient has lost their teeth to gum disease there are multiple options available for replacing them.
