Gum Health
Gum care is an integral component of individual hygiene to maintain the health of the oral cavity and teeth.
The gum is the mucous membrane that covers the neck of the tooth, the alveolar processes of the upper and lower jaw and is part of the periodontal
Use brushes with soft bristles. Medium-hard brushes can only be used if the gums are absolutely healthy. It is not recommended to brush your teeth with hard brushes at all.
To keep your gums healthy, follow these rules:
Brush your teeth 2 times a day and do it with proper sweeping movements (from the gum to the cutting edge of the teeth).
Less often, patients are diagnosed with a dystrophic disease - periodontal disease. Its development is due to insufficient intake of nutrients to the periodontal. As a result, the tissues gradually weaken and thin out.
At the initial stage, inflammation affects only the upper layer of tissues surrounding the tooth. This form of the disease is called gingivitis. Over time, the bacteria pe*****te deeper and destroy the ligament with which the gum is attached to the tooth, and then the bone tissue

The most common nuisance is inflammation. Its cause is the active reproduction of bacteria, for example, due to the formation of tartar under the gum.
In this case, the gum changes in color. It turns red if the inflammation is acute, or acquires a bluish hue if the process has passed into a chronic stage – and swells.
Gingivitis, or gingivitis, is caused by bacteria that multiply in plaque. They pe*****te under the gum and secrete enzymes and toxins.
