Mouth Problems

Based on what I read on WebMd and the symptoms I have been feeling, I am pretty sure that I have gum disease and if not treated it will cause more damage on my health. I have no idea how I get this for I brush twice a day and even floss twice a day. I learned that having diabetes makes it worst and so I need to see my dentist as soon as I can before it gets worst.

Gum Disease

Red, swollen, or bleeding gums could be gingivitis, which can cause teeth to loosen and fall out. Also called gum disease, gingivitis – a form of periodontal disease -- can happen when an illness, medication, plaque, or other problem leaves gums vulnerable to bacterial infection. Prevention is the best strategy. That means daily flossing and brushing, as well as regular dental visits. Severe gingivitis may require antibiotics.
