Taking care of them and knowing the warning signs is key to keeping teeth and gums healthy.<br \/>\nDiscover the different types of gum problems you may have if you don\u2019t take proper care of them.<\/p>\n<h2>Symptoms of gum problems<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Detecting gum problems in time allows us to act before they become something more serious. <\/strong>The signs may be subtle at first, but over time they become more evident. Some of the most frequent symptoms are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/bleeding-gums\/\"><strong>Bleeding<\/strong><\/a><strong> when brushing or flossing<\/strong>: It is not normal for gums to bleed, even with gentle brushing. This symptom usually indicates inflammation or irritation in the gingival tissues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red, sensitive, or swollen gums<\/strong>: Healthy gums are firm and pink, not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/white-gums\/\">white<\/a> or red. When they become red or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/inflamed-substances\/\">inflamed<\/a>, it may be a sign of gingivitis or periodontitis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Persistent <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/habits-to-avoid-bad-breath\/\"><strong>bad breath<\/strong><\/a>: Although it can have other causes, continuous bad breath may be related to gum <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/gum-infection\/\">infections<\/a> that accumulate bacteria.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gum recession<\/strong>: When the gums recede and expose part of the tooth root, dental sensitivity increases and the risk of cavities in that area also rises.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sensitivity or <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/pain-tmj\/\"><strong>pain<\/strong><\/a><strong> when chewing<\/strong>: Gum inflammation can make eating uncomfortable, especially with hard, cold, or very hot foods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Paying attention to these symptoms and not ignoring them is importan<\/strong>t. Many people think that bleeding when brushing is normal, but it is one of the first signs of problems that should be treated as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h2>Gum problems<\/h2>\n<p>There are different types of gum problems, ranging from mild to severe, depending on the condition of the tissues and how long they are left untreated.<\/p>\n<h3>Gingivitis<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Gingivitis is the most common and mild form of gum disease.<\/strong> It is characterized by inflammation, redness, and bleeding when brushing. It is often reversible if daily oral hygiene is improved and professional cleaning is performed. However, if left untreated, it can progress into a more serious disease such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/advanced-periodontitis\/\">periodontitis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Periodontitis<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Periodontitis is the progression of gingivitis and affects the supporting tissues of the teeth, including the <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/dental-bone-graft\/\"><strong>bone<\/strong><\/a><strong> that holds them.<\/strong> It can cause tooth mobility and even tooth loss. This disease requires more intensive treatment, including deep cleanings, scaling, and sometimes surgical intervention to restore gum health.<\/p>\n<h3>Gum recession<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/retracted-gums\/\"><strong>Gum recession <\/strong><\/a><strong>occurs when the <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/interference-with-dentist\/\"><strong>gums<\/strong><\/a><strong> recede, leaving the tooth root exposed.<\/strong> This not only causes sensitivity but also increases vulnerability to root cavities and aesthetic problems. Recession may be caused by aggressive brushing, bruxism, or chronic periodontal diseases. In this case, a graft may be necessary.<\/p>\n<h3>Peri-implantitis<\/h3>\n<p>In people with dental implants,<strong> peri-implantitis affects the tissues around the <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/advisable-dental-implant\/\"><strong>implant<\/strong><\/a><strong> and may compromise its stability.<\/strong> It is a serious problem that requires professional monitoring and, at times, surgical procedures to protect the implant.<\/p>\n<h2>We help you treat gum problems<\/h2>\n<p>At <strong>Gross Dentistas<\/strong>, we understand that gum problems can affect both health and confidence when smiling.
