Gingivitis and periodontitis are gum diseases that can present symptoms such as easy bleeding gums, receding gums, plaque build up, tooth decay, tooth pain, pus in gums, persistent bad breath and tooth loss.
Frequent tooth brushing with fluoride toothpaste, flossing, scaling of plaque, antibacterial mouth wash and regular visits to the dentist have been the recommendation for management of these gum diseases. Only sufferers seem to share a common issue with this treatment strategy.....they are still experiencing symptoms!
