Liverpool Gum Disease Plaque
Plaque is the reason behind every gum disease. This plaque is basically accumulated on the gum and tooth surface throughout the day and is a film bacterium. Most of plaque bacteria are harmless except for a few causing the gum diseases. Flossing and brushing prevents accumulation of this plaque bacteria and controls any chances of gum diseases.
Mostly this plaque bacterium causes a painless and unnoticeable gum disease until they are active and make them swell and become sensitive. This advance stage means you might detect traces of pus near the teeth due to accumulated abscesses. In this case your Liverpool dentist will cure the gum problem through antibiotic prescriptions. If however this is not treated properly on time then the anchoring bone of the infected tooth may be lost after a few years making the treatment quite challenging.
If you ever detect blood when you rinse your teeth after brushing them, or notice your tooth brush has blood stains then it might be a sign of gum disease. Other symptoms include bad breath or bleeding gums during eating giving you a metallic taste in your mouth due to the bleeding.
