Gums are the most neglected part of our oral cavity. Gum diseases are very much prevalent in India but since these diseases are very slow progressive and mostly painless or having mild pain and discomfort, patients come to know of these in advanced stages.

According to studies, patients with gum diseases get more frequent heart troubles as compared to persons with healthy gums. Also pregnant women with gum diseases are more likely get premature deliveries or miscarriage and immunity of their child is less as compared to ladies with healthy gums in their pregnancy.

Gum diseases can be mild, moderate or severe.
Mild: The most common sign of this is occasional bleeding from gums while brushing and this can be treated by normal cleaning by the dentist.
Moderate : In this stage of gum disease more occasional bleeding, even while eating food or while biting apples and sometimes accompanied with bad smell and slight mobility of teeth; gums appear reddish and sometimes gives boggy appearance. This require surgical intervention and is within treatable limits.
