Monitoring the health of our mouths involves paying close attention to signs of gum disease, such as gum swelling, bleeding while brushing, pain while chewing, and persistent bad breath. Ignoring even minor indications can result in severe cases of tooth decay or gum disease, leading to further deterioration, pain, and, ultimately, tooth loss. While antibiotics can cure most infections, treating mouth bacteria requires a different approach. Regular checkups and cleanings are essential in identifying new cavities and removing plaque and tartar, which harbor harmful bacteria.
