The conditions that cause us discomfort are often surprisingly sneaky. Gum disease is a common oral health issue that is surprisingly easy to overlook. Not only do we tend to focus more on tooth health than gum health, but gum disease is often painless, making it even more likely to go unnoticed. Think of it as an enemy agent who has infiltrated your mouth.

The stakes are that high. Failing to spot this condition early on can have serious consequences, since it’s one of the leading causes of tooth loss for adults. Fortunately, if you play detective, you can keep a sharp eye out for signs of this nefarious intruder.
You can prevent the more advanced stages of the disease in surprisingly easy ways. Just maintaining a regular brushing and flossing routine goes a long way. We end on a note of caution – keep your guard up even if you think your mouth looks spotless.
To give yourself the best chance at fighting the disease, be aware of these common signs and keep up with your regular dental checkups, which are essential for prevention and early detection. You may still have gum disease even if you don’t display any of these symptoms.
