Without them, our pearly whites wouldn\u2019t have a solid foundation and couldn\u2019t get the nutrients they need. Unfortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/periodontal-therapy.html\">periodontal disease<\/a> is a common problem that only gets worse without treatment. For example, as it develops you\u2019ll notice receding gumlines that can lead to loose or missing teeth. It can also enter your bloodstream and travel throughout your body contributing to more serious conditions like diabetes and heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, gum disease is typically highly preventable. Keep reading to learn 4 risk factors so you can avoid this particular dental dilemma!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risk #1: Smoking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using tobacco should be avoided if you want to keep your mouth happy. It contains nicotine which is an addictive chemical that restricts your blood flow and reduces its oxygen levels. Your body can\u2019t deliver essential ingredients to your teeth and gums that are necessary for their well-being. You could end up with gum disease, cavities, and stained teeth as well as more serious problems like oral cancer or lung and heart issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risk #2: Age<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The older you are, the more likely you are to contract some form of gum disease. This could be due to the natural reduction in saliva that occurs as we age. Spit is your body\u2019s natural defense that rinses away unwanted food particles and bacteria. Without enough natural moisture, you\u2019re more likely to have a dry mouth which is an ideal environment for harmful germs. You can mitigate some of the impact by drinking plenty of water, but this is no guarantee that you won\u2019t end up with gingivitis or worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risk #3: A Lack of Nutrition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The adage \u2018you are what you eat\u2019 applies when considering risk factors for gum disease. If you aren\u2019t eating a well-balanced diet, then you\u2019re more likely to have certain deficiencies in various vitamins and minerals that keep your body functioning at its peak. You could gain weight in addition to lowering your body\u2019s immune response. If your immunity is jeopardized, you won\u2019t be able to fight off infections like gum disease. Furthermore, studies have indicated that obesity can also increase your risk of periodontal problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4: Poor Dental Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You already know that you should brush your teeth twice every day, but if you aren\u2019t flossing, then you\u2019re missing a crucial step in the process. Bacteria can penetrate between your teeth and underneath your gumline where your toothbrush simply can\u2019t reach to clear them away. Flossing allows you to clean those hard-to-reach places, so your gums stay healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know a few potential pitfalls to avoid, you can keep your gums in good shape for years to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Young Dental Advanced Dental Arts, you and the entire family benefit from a team of 3 caring experts who provide a full range of dental services under one roof, including periodontal therapy.
