Gingivitis (redness of the gum margins, swelling and bleeding on brushing), and Periodontitis (formation of spaces between the tooth and gums) are common forms of gum diseases in adults, especially ages 40 and above.
One reason why gum disease is prevalent among adults is that you do not usually know it due to its often painless nature, till the advanced stage. Early stages of gum infection – if left untreated – lead to spreading to the bone and surrounding tooth and other supporting tissues. This in turn causes the formation of spaces between the tooth and gums.
The good news is, with regular use of the right prevention products, the conditions can be halted and prevented. Hence the Smile Honey range of herbal toothpastes to the rescue. It sterilizes the bacteria and stops the swelling and bleeding caused by periodontal disease.
