There are some conditions that start quite innocently in the mouth but then turn out to be right killers: an abscess can get out of control quickly, sleep apnea can get you over time, but then, so can gum disease. Gum disease will affect quite a few people in the city of Leeds during their lives but it should by no means be taken lightly. You have to revert to the original perpetrators to find the cause of the problem. It all starts with a combination of poor oral hygiene and the avoidance of dental check-ups that allows the old enemy of plaque and tartar to set up shop around the teeth. These will start to release toxins into the gums which in turn become infected. The early signs are weeping and/or bleeding gums combined with a bad taste in the mouth. To combat the problem at this stage, involves some deep scaling from the dentist and the use of medicated toothpastes and mouthwashes at home. Rinsing with salty water can help, as can the use of herbal products. If the problem is allowed to get worse however, the gums will start to recede and the teeth will become loose and in danger of falling out. During all of this time though, the diseased gums would have started to release toxins into the bloodstream and end up deposited in the body’s most vital organs such as the heart, kidneys and liver and before long, they will fail. So it is imperative that a dentist is brought on board immediately in order to save your teeth…..and your life.
