The importance of gums for our health is often underestimated. However, regular and thorough gum care can have numerous positive effects. The good news: With the right products, it can be easily integrated into daily dental care.
The gums have an important protective function: they fit snugly against the teeth and thus ensure that no harmful bacteria penetrate into the periodontium. Bleeding gums are a common symptom when the gums become inflamed. Such inflammation of the gums can in turn lead to inflammation of the periodontium (periodontitis) and thus to a reduction in the jawbone. As a result, the gums recede, the teeth increasingly lose their hold and ultimately tooth loss can occur.
Healthy gums – healthy body
Healthy gums form the basis for good oral and dental health. Even more: Gum care not only protects against inflammation in the mouth, but is important for the entire body. If gingivitis is left untreated, the bacteria can migrate from the mouth into the rest of the body, where they can cause or worsen other acute and/or chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis or strokes.
Take bleeding gums as a warning sign
Sensitive gums that bleed when brushing your teeth: Many people don’t see this as a cause for concern. Bleeding gums are often not associated with pain at first. But that doesn’t make it harmless. If the gums bleed regularly, this is a warning signal from the body and indicates acute inflammation (gingivitis) – the precursor to periodontitis.
Gum problems can be the cause of sensitive teeth and therefore both complaints often go hand in hand. The consumption of hot and cold food can become a painful event.
