What Causes Gum Disease?
Gum disease caused by bacteria can cause many different problems such as bleeding gums, painful gums, tissue loss, tooth loss, and bone loss. If you have developed a gum disease or you are at the risk of developing then you may have to consult with a periodontist in Dubai, who specializes in treating gum diseases.
Does the oral hygienist also screen you for Oral Cancer?
During your appointment, your oral hygienist will also be screening you for signs of oral cancer. Oral cancer is life-threatening, however, if caught early, it can be easily treatable. If you smoke, you increase your chances of oral cancer.
Which diseases can be developed due to poor oral hygiene?
Poor dental hygiene leads to a lot of bad bacteria harbouring in your mouth. This bad bacteria can actually make you ill. There is evidence that supports that poor oral hygiene can lead to the development of other diseases such as heart disease, respiratory diseases, stroke and more.
Bad Breath
Bad bacteria cause bad breath which is also known as halitosis. Bacteria are living organisms that create gases, which can create a foul odour. Poor oral hygiene = a frenzy of bad bacteria in your mouth giving you bad breath, which can become chronic.
Tooth Loss
By visiting the hygienist, you can eliminate plaque and tartar, which are the main causes of gum diseases, which is the leading cause of tooth loss.
