Have you seen a bit of blood in your sink when you brush your teeth lately? That bleeding can be one of the first warning signs that you’ve got gum disease.

The mild variety is called gingivitis. When you have that, only your gums are infected. The infection can travel below your gum line and into your bone if you don't treat it. Then it becomes a more serious form of gum disease called periodontitis. Your Dentist can inform you about the severity of the problem. Gingivitis and some extent periodontitis are curable, if you neglect them further you have to lose the teeth.
