Swollen Gums? | Oceanside Dental Excellence

If you are a worried Oceanside resident experiencing inflamed gums or an aching tooth, you are not alone. At Oceanside Dental Excellence, we understand.

There is an Epidemic of Dental Problems

About one-third of U.S. adults are by decay, according to the CDC, and gum disease plagues one in seven people aged 35 to 40. Don’t ignore these symptoms, call Oceanside Dental Excellence today to schedule an appointment for treatment.

At Oceanside Dental Excellence we take gum disease, sometimes called gingivitis, seriously because left untreated it can bring about loss of bone and tissue that support the teeth.

Do Your Gums Bleed?

Gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease. You will know you have it if your gums bleed easily and look red and swollen. If this malady is not reversed it can lead to periodontitis. With this condition, your gums become loose and separate from the teeth forming cavities that can become infected. This can spread to the bone supporting the tooth. If this is damaged, the tooth can be lost. (If you have already lost a tooth to gum disease, ask us about dental implants.)

You Can Reverse Early Stage Gum Disease

At Oceanside Dental Excellence we recommend daily brushing and flossing and regular dental cleanings to help combat gingivitis. Our team has been treating gum disease and other dental problems for California patients since 2018.

If you want your teeth to feel fresh and bright, come in for a cleaning and check-up. Don’t become a statistic, prevent gingivitis by treating your teeth and gums with the TLC they deserve. (After all, they work pretty hard for you day in and day out.)
