Every Encinitas dentistry patient’s mouth provides a cozy home for over 600 types of bacteria. If you are diligent about oral hygiene and have healthy gums, these microbes usually don’t affect your health. However, if you have gum disease, bacteria can enter your bloodstream through your gums and cause problems.
Gingivitis is the term for the mild gum disease. At La Costa Dental Excellence, we routinely discover gingivitis in Carlsbad clients who are not even aware they have the condition.
The first signs of gingivitis are swollen, sore gums.
It is important for our Encinitas and San Marcos CA dental patients to understand that it is not normal for gums to bleed when they are brushed or flossed. If you haven’t had an oral examination in a while and live in the Encinitas area, call La Costa Dental Excellence at 760-633-3033. Drs. Stephen and Kimberly Dankworth thoroughly examen teeth and gums and take time to discuss the results and recommendations with each Carlsbad dentistry patient.
