WHAT TO LOOK FOR & WHAT TO DO
If you have diabetes, pay extra attention to signs of gum
redness, bad breath, swelling, bleeding or tenderness.
- Early stage gum problems, such as gingivitis, can be
prevented and even reversed with early intervention
of good oral hygiene - Twice daily brushing and flossing will help to remove
plaque and food that can get trapped and irritate gums - Ongoing redness, bleeding, sensitivity or pain in the
gums should be discussed with your dental professional.
Nearly five million Australians suffer
from gum problems but many of these
could be prevented simply by stepping
up their gum care regimen.
