GUM DISEASE - PREVENT AT ANY COST?

Did you know?  
In India only more than 10 million cases of Gum diseases reported every year.   It is a serious threat to our life as human beings. 

Symptoms:
1. Gingivitus - inflamation of the gums at the necks  of the teeth. 
2. Periodontitis - inflammation affecting  the bone and tissues of the teeth. 
          It begins with the bacterial  growth (a sticky form of bacteria to build  up on the  teeth and harden called plaque ) typically  caused by poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque,  causes the gums to became
Red,  swollen  and bleed  easily. 

Requires Medical  Diagnosis:
Treatment consists of improved dental  hygiene, includes professionally cleaning the  pockets around teeth to prevent damage to 
surrounding  bone.     Advanced cases may require surgery.

Possible danger:
Regular  brushing  of teeth which prevents periodontal disease may lower the  risk  of suffering a "stroke" or a "heart attack" reports 
Milenio,  a Mexican newspaper.  
It continues, "people with high levels of bacteria that  cause periodontal disease also had a 'narrower  carotid artery'. " One possible 
explanation is that the microorganisms that  cause periodontal disease emigrate snd travel 
throughout the  bloodstream, which stimulates the  immune system and provokes inflammation ".   In turn, that inflammation increases the buildup  of fatty deposits in the arteries or contributes to the formation of blood  clots that can lead to heart attacks. 

Therefore  "caring for oral health may have a
significant impact on cardiovascular health ".

Awareness:
Gum Health  Day 2020 to be celebrating worldwide on 12th May.
Its slogan :  "Say NO to bleeding Gum".
Its aims:   "To remind people  that Gum Health is a key factor for  general health and well being throughout life, and that gum diseases is an important public health issue as it is linked to very serious conditions " (News,  Medical Life Science )

My friends,  please avoid the  serious gum infection that  damages gum and can destroy the jawbone,  practicing a regular teeth brushing and periodical checking with dental surgeons.  Do not give up.
