Gums getting weak
Hello
Nowadays often i feel that my gums are getting weak, even after eating an apple i feel my gums getting hurt and it pains, i hav recently started skipping my brushing from daily to almost on alternate days due to heavy work load and all i don't get time, and i feel my gums are leaving my teeths slowly and getting weaker. Can it be due to unbalanced diet or anything please help and what all to do for treatment.
Hi
Weakened gums, gums receding from teeth, dull pain in gums immediately after eating are a sign of Gum disease.
Gum diseases can lead to weakened supporting structure of your teeth, further resulting in mobile teeth, bleeding gums, bad breath.
Early detection and treatment can result in complete resolution of the disease.
Also improper diet can decrease your immunity, making you more susceptible to gum problems as well as other health issues.
