Gum Disease Awareness Month is coming to a close, so we’re taking one last opportunity in our dental blog to give you the tools to fight this sneaky, serious health problem.
Visit your Charlotte dentist every six months for cleanings and exams, and in the meantime, keep reading to understand more about this health threat and how we can help you overcome gum disease.
Don’t Believe These Dental Myths!
We’re setting the record straight on these dental myths so that you can protect your smile from gum disease:
#1 – Gum disease only affects your gums.
If only hurting your gums was the extent of the destruction gum disease causes.
It’s bad enough that healthy gum tissue gets damaged by infection, but if untreated, it continues to spread to your jawbone, deteriorating the bone until your teeth have nothing left to keep them firmly in place.
And that’s not even counting the damage gum disease infection can cause throughout the body if it enters your bloodstream!
The list of systemic health problems connected with this disease is long and quite dangerous.
That’s why it’s so important to take good care of your teeth at home and to visit the dentist on a routine basis.
#2 – Bad breath is embarrassing, but it’s not a dental problem.
Sure, it’s pretty embarrassing to have bad breath, especially in social situations.
But brushing your teeth, rinsing your mouth with mouthwash, and chewing sugarless gum can all keep your breath nice and fresh.
There’s only one problem… these solutions will only help if your halitosis is being caused by something you just ate or drank.
If the odor in your mouth isn’t improved with mints, oral hygiene, or mouthwash, it could very well be a dental problem. Dry mouth is one possibility, but another is gum disease infection.
Don’t simply brush it off as an awkward or annoying issue. Bad breath could be a sign that you need dental treatment sooner rather than later.
#3 – Flossing isn’t as important as brushing.
More than half of adults admit that they either don’t floss every day or that they hardly ever floss at all.
That’s pretty surprising, but not if you believe that flossing isn’t that important.
It’s actually one of the best things you can do to prevent gum disease. Yes, brushing twice a day is essential, but flossing gets the food debris that brushing misses. Because of this, you’re cutting off the main food source of harmful bacteria that leads to gum disease.

Too many adults resist the urge to get braces, even though they know it would give them the straight smile they want.
And who can blame them?
Traditional braces that bond metal brackets to your teeth and pull them into the right position with tight wires definitely work, but not everyone needs to go to such lengths to achieve results.
And adults especially don’t want to go through all that for a couple of years because most people wear braces at a much earlier age.
But today, we want to encourage you to take the first step toward a straight, beautiful smile by exploring our clear, short-term orthodontics in Charlotte, NC.
While we offer standard braces, you may prefer Invisalign, an alternative clear aligners system that’s faster, more comfortable, and nearly invisible!

Here’s a video clip from the American Dental Association that lists the value of a mouthguard that’s specially made to fit your child’s mouth so they can focus on the field, breathe more easily, and stay safe during the game.
