Dental disease, usually are the result of the simplest: a bad brushing coupled with little consultation of specialists. Experts stress that there is nothing better than prevention.
For the Spanish dentist James Carreras, do not underestimate or a little bleeding.
"The bleeding gums things first, when you can start a gingivitis (bacterial disease). People often interpreted as normal suddenly to bite an apple a little blood, or when brushing occurs the same, but this is telling us that there is a part of the gums that are swollen and have to go to the dentist because, surely, we are making a technical (cleaning) is not correct, "he said during a course specialist in Periodontics and Implantology ended last Friday in San Rafael Home Clinic.

To his colleague, the Italian Carlo Tinti dentist, also attending the event, more tooth loss product periodontal disease by tooth decay.
"In the world, statistically, more pieces are lost periodontal diseases by decay. The gum disease does not happen in children, in the history of the world there are only seven cases. The 95 percent of children who do not spend 10 years has only gingivitis, which is inflammation, but does not attack the bones, they begin to be attacked at puberty, so it is better to prevent than to cure, as it worse the total tooth loss, death, loss of bone, "referred to specialist.
