Bleeding gums: a clear warning that your mouth is not well

Periodontal disease occurs when the tissues that support the teeth become inflamed due to the continuous deposit of bacteria, which we know as plaque. It is one of the most common diseases and, in Spain, it is estimated that it affects approximately 85% of people over 35 years of age. At Rbg Clinic we advise our patients to pay special attention to their gums, as they are the cause of numerous diseases that directly affect the teeth. Healthy gums are firm and do not bleed, and they adapt perfectly to the edge of the teeth. Good oral health will help prevent plaque formation, either with the correct brush and the use of dental floss.
