Periodontal Disease – Protecting Your Gums (Dr.

Baker - McAllen TX Dentist)

Periodontal disease is due to the long-term effects of plaque deposits. People usually don't show signs of gum disease (periodontal disease) until they are in their 30s or 40s and men are more likely to have gum disease (periodontal disease) than women.

Gingivitis is the mildest form of periodontal disease. It causes the gums to become red, swollen, and bleed easily. At this stage, there is usually very little or no pain and discomfort. Gingivitis is often caused by poor oral care but it is reversible with treatment by Dr. Baker (McAllen TX Dentist).

When it comes to a women's heath, special needs exist. While brushing and flossing daily, a healthy diet, and regular exercise are important for oral health throughout life, there are certain times in a woman's life when extra care is needed. During times such as menstruation or pregnancy, it is vitally important for women to take special care of their teeth because a woman's body experiences hormonal changes that can affect many of the tissues in your body, including your gums.
