Your chances of developing periodontal disease increase significantly when you become older. Anyone with bleeding gums should know that this is a sign of gum disease. The healthy gum tissue does not bleed and is not read so strongly as to cause bleeding harmful to the gums and teeth. Your chances of developing periodontal disease increase significantly when you become older. Generally, the greater the amount of dental bacterial bio film (plaque) and the longer it remains in contact with the gums, the greater the amount and severity of periodontal disease. Effective washing and thread cleaning are essential for destroying bio film and preventing the disease. The best way to determine if your oral hygiene techniques are effective is to evaluate them by a dentist. In addition, studies have shown that periodontal disease and tooth loss are associated with aging; thus the need for proper oral hygiene is even more critical for a lifetime.
