@thelondondentist: Bleeding gums? Loose teeth? It might be more serious than you think. Let’s talk about gum disease — or as we call it: periodontal disease 🦷🩸 This isn’t just about flossing more. Periodontal disease is a chronic infection that affects the bone and ligaments supporting your teeth. Once that bone is lost — we can’t grow it back naturally. Warning signs include: – Bleeding when brushing or flossing – Bad breath that won’t go away – Gum recession – Teeth feeling loose or shifting – Spaces developing between teeth And here’s the thing: You can have no pain at all — and still be losing bone. The earlier we catch it, the better the long-term outcome. ✅ Professional cleaning ✅ Periodontal monitoring ✅ At-home care routines — these all play a role. Your smile is only as strong as the foundation beneath it. #dentist #doctor #health #LearnOnTikTok #dentalhygienist #dentalhygiene #smile #tooth #teeth #gums
