Do you remember the compulsory dental check-ups during your primary school days? I think I was one of the odd few who love visiting the dentist at that time. All kids are known to be scared of dental check-ups. Some will even start crying the moment their names are being called. For me, it's an excuse to skip class :P
Now, the problem is, we don't really pay much attention to our teeth AND gums as we age. We dread visiting the dentist coz it's like so expensive. Besides, our mentality is that it is not necessary at all. Well, I'm guilty as charged.
Like how we take care of our skin, maintaining healthy teeth and gums are super important, especially the latter. Gums are the foundation of healthy teeth. Once the gum tissues are damaged, it cannot be reversed!
By taking proper care of your gums, the chance of getting gum disease (infection) is lowered. You get better oral and general health, healthier and more beautiful smile.
Fyi, gum disease is a silent disease. You might not feel any pain at the initial stage.
Here are some of the signs of gum disease:-
- Gums bleed easily even with gentle brushing
- Red, swollen gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gums that have pulled away from the teeth
In fact, according to Singapore Health Promotion Board Survey in 2003, 85% of Singaporean adults have some form of gum disease. Also to my horror, I learnt that gum disease is a social disease, which means it is infectious! It can be passed from parent to child, between couples, and friends... scary =.=
Besides, it also triggers other health ailments like:-
- Contribute to the development of heart disease
- Increase the risk of stroke
- Increase a woman’s risk of having pre-term births
- Pose a serious threat to people whose health is compromised by diabetes or respiratory diseases
To prevent gum disease or improve gum condition, practise good personal oral care by brushing your teeth thoroughly at least twice a day, cleaning in between your teeth daily, followed by mouth-rinsing containing anti-bacterial ingredients. Systema offers the complete gum care solution for healthy gums, healthy teeth and a healthier you.
PS: Having a balanced diet AND making regular visits to your dentist are a must too.
