Thanks to a plethora of toothpaste commercials in recent years, it seems that everyone is now aware of this condition.</p> 66<p>Gingivitis is not to be taken lightly. This degradation of the gums can be an indication of more serious underlying health problems.</p> 67<p>I am Dr. Robert Kluss and Iâve seen hundreds of people in my South Orange County office suffering from gingivitis and often donât even know that they have it. One telltale sign of gingivitis is receding gum lines.</p> 68<p>If youâve noticed that your gums are receding and you havenât been to the dentist in a while, it makes sense to visit a dentist as soon as possible. If you live in the San Juan Capistrano/Dana Point area, you can drop by my office at 32282 Camino Capistrano, San Juan Capistrano. Iâd be happy to assist you.</p> 69<p><strong>Gingivitis Can Lead to Tooth Loss</strong></p> 70<p>A regular dental appointment not only stops tooth loss caused by decay, it also stops tooth loss related to gingivitis. As the gums become more diseased and weakened, tooth loss is inevitable. There are things that can be done to stop gingivitis, but you have to go see a dentist as soon as possible. So if you want to keep all your teeth and have noticed receding gums, get to the dentist soon.</p> 71<p><strong>Underlying problems</strong></p> 72<p>You may not know this, but gingivitis can be an indicator that a person may suffer from a stroke or heart attack in the near future. My job as a dentist is to keep people healthy. This doesnât just stop with your teeth.</p> 73<p>So if you live in South Orange County and think your teeth are all right but your gums have been receding, please call my San Juan Capistrano office at (949) 496-4402 or <a href="https://www.absolutesmile.com/patient/appointment-request/">click here to schedule an appointment</a>.</p> 74]]></content:encoded> 75 76 <wfw:commentRss>https://www.absolutesmile.com/what-you-need-to-know-about-gingivitis-or-gum-disease/feed/</wfw:commentRss> 77 <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> 78 79 80 <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">3114</post-id> </item> 81 <item> 82 <title>Suffering from Bad Breath?

Now maybe itâs just because you had garlic bread for lunch, but there could be more serious causes to your bad breath. I should know; Iâm Dr. Robert Kluss, and Iâm a dentist.</p> 94<p>Believe it or not, questions about bad breath are very common for dentists to hear. What people donât know is that bad breath doesnât always indicate that someone does not brush their teeth or that they have a penchant for garlicky foods. In fact, there are many potentially serious causes behind bad breath.</p> 95<p><strong>Bad Breath is Embarrassing</strong></p> 96<p>Besides the possibility of serious problems, bad breath is just plain embarrassing. It is so awkward to have bad breath and to have to go into social situations. Many people donât know this, but even a small amount of tooth decay can cause some serious breath issues. This is just another reason why visiting me, Dr. Kluss for a checkup and cleaning is so very important.</p> 97<p>Bad breath can actually be a blessing to some, in that the social stigma can force many people to finally make a dentist appointment. Donât let it get bad before you visit a dentist; it is something that everyone should do to avoid potential problems.</p> 98<p>One of the most common causes for bad breath is gingivitis. Commonly known as gum disease, gingivitis can be a very serious indicator of underlying health problems, so if you have bad breath itâs a good decision to visit my South Orange County office.</p> 99<p>If itâs been a while since youâve been to the dentist or if you donât have a regular dentist to visit, please call my office at (949) 496-4402 or <a href="https://www.absolutesmile.com/patient/appointment-request/">click here to schedule an appointment</a>.

Maybe itâs just the thought of someone sticking things in your mouth. (We canât do dentistry any other way, unfortunately.) As many as 5â10 percent of adults experience dental phobia. In other words, theyâre so afraid of seeing the dentist that they would do anything to avoid dental treatment.</p> 205<p> </p> 206<p>As a dentist, I find this terribly sad and unnecessary. Too many fearful would-be dental patients only get dental care when their neglect finally turns into a dental emergency, like a toothache or abscess, necessitating invasive treat. This can lead to a âcycle of avoidance,â
206 in which the resulting dental emergency serves to reinforce the patientâs fear of dentistry.</p> 207<p> </p> 208<p>âKeep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.ââ Robert Louis Stevenson</p> 209<p> </p> 210<p>Fear not!

Eventually the microscopic bacterial sugar bugs eat enough to create actual holesâdental cavitiesâin the teeth. Not good!</p> 234<p>Donât let cavities go unattended! Without proper dental treatment, the cavities are not only painful, but can lead to tooth loss, infection, and even death. If you do get a cavity, youâre not alone. Tooth decay is common throughout the world.</p> 235<p><b>Causes of tooth decay</b></p> 236<p>Tooth decay is caused by specific types of acid-producing bacteria, which cause damage in the presence of fermentable carbohydrates such as sucrose, fructose, and glucose.</p> 237<p>Depending on the extent of tooth destruction, various treatments can be used to restore teeth to proper form, function, and aesthetics, but there is no known method to regenerate large amounts of tooth structure. Instead, dental health organizations advocate preventive and prophylactic measures, such as regular oral hygiene and dietary modifications, to avoid dental tooth decay.</p> 238<p>Though more than 95% of trapped food is left packed between teeth after every meal or snack, over 80% of cavities develop inside pits and fissures in grooves on chewing surfaces where the brush cannot reach and there is no access for saliva and fluoride to neutralize acid and re-mineralize demineralized tooth. Few cavities occur where saliva has easy access.</p> 239<p>Ready for a dental check up? Stop into my office and schedule an initial consultation with me, Dr. Kluss.
