Take care of your teeth and fight gum disease. Periodontal disease can begin with simple gum infection sometimes called gingivitis, and can cause serious damage to the tissue and bones that protect your teeth.


The first signs of gum disease usually becomes evident for most people beginning in their thirties. Men are more likely to suffer from gum disease than women. Gum disease generally develops from lack of oral hygiene which allows plaque to build up along the gum line. Regular brushing and flossing cleans the food particles from your mouth. Food particles, mucus, and other bacteria quickly forms a sticky, colorless plaque on your teeth. If plaque is not removed it can harden into "tarter" that must be removed by a dentist or dental hygienist.


Symptoms of gum disease:


Constant bad breath


Red, swollen gums that are sensitive or frequent bleeding


Pain when chewing


Loose or sensitive teeth


Gingivitis is a milder form of gum disease. Allowing plaque and tarter to accumulate on your teeth can lead to inflamed gums that may become painful and bleed easily. Daily brushing and flossing along with regularly cleaning by a dentist or dental hygienist can slow or reverse the effects of gingivitis.


Periodontitis is severe gum disease and if allowed to go untreated can cause the gums to pull away from the teeth and form pockets of inflammation that can become infected.


Smoking and oral use of tobacco is one of the main causes of gum disease and it can lower your chances of effective treatment. Diabetes are at risk of infection including gum disease. Hormonal changes in women may make the gums more sensitive to gum disease.


Treatment to control the infection varies depending on the degree of infection. Deep cleaning by a hygienist involves scraping the tarter from above and below the gum line and smoothing off any rough spots that may trap germs and bacteria. This method can be performed by water irrigation method or lasers to remove plaque and tartar.


In severe cases where bone loss is evident surgery may be performed to remove the tartar or skin grafts to replace tissue destroyed by periodontitis.


To prevent gum disease, discontinue the use of tobacco, floss daily, brush your teeth twice daily, eat a balanced diet, and visit your dentist regularly for a dental check-up and professional cleaning.

The Painting of Destiny

"Are you sure of this, Navan?" The old pirate stared at King Mannas' chief merchant. However, his bright emerald green eyes sparkled with laughter. "The information came from Daoud, one of my former crew members, when I was ravaging the coastal villages of Vyrone." Navan smiled at the expression crossing Gerrod's face, whose family had fled from one of these villages. The Iron Falcon was a legend and parents had always used the threat of its crew and its flaming-haired captain to scare naughty children into sleeping and behaving differently. Gerrod quickly recovered and smiled. "Then he must be a man to be trusted, indeed." "Ah!" cried Navan. "Daoud will take the coin from the mouth of a dead man while it is still warm. I trust him only because he knows the fate of him who lies to me." I may have made him captain when I decided to infiltrate King Mannas' court, but he still knows who is in charge. "We must tell ...
