In the U.S., it\u2019s estimated that nearly half of adults over 30 years have some form of it. Although it is an infection, it can\u2019t go away on its own and can cause a wide range of complications, possibly even affecting your brain and heart. To help yourself prevent this condition, here are four risk factors you should know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Poor Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t keep up with your oral hygiene, then you\u2019ll likely have a higher chance of gum disease. When bacteria build up along your gumline, they can attack the pink soft tissues, so it&#8217;s important you clean them off. Thankfully, by brushing and flossing twice a day, you can remove harmful plaque that spells trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Tobacco<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Smoking and chewing tobacco affect your immune system over time and can lead to inflammation in your gums. Your body may have a harder time fighting against it and the bacteria in your mouth. You can consider quitting this habit to give your smile a good chance at avoiding oral health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Age and Genetics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to recent studies, older patients often have a higher rate of gum disease, which can then increase their risk of tooth loss. Not only that, but genetics can come into play as well. Certain patients may naturally be more prone to infection or have a stronger reaction to bacteria in their mouth. Even if they are diligent about their dental hygiene, they may develop it more easily than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Certain Medications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some medications you take may have dry mouth as a side effect. This affects your saliva production, making it harder for you to wash away bacteria and debris. As they linger, they can attack your gums and cause problems. While you shouldn\u2019t stop taking the medicine you need, you can talk to your primary care provider about how to alleviate this symptom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, while there are several risk factors for gum disease, that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll just have to deal with the possibility of getting it! You should do your part in preventing it with a great oral hygiene routine and consistent visits to your dentist. They will be able to monitor any changes to your smile and spot the red flags of this condition. That way, you can get the prompt treatment you deserve toward a stronger grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jmgdentistry.com\/meet-your-dentist.html\">Dr. Justin Geller<\/a> earned his dental degree from the University of Detroit.
