EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the detrimental effects of gum disease on oral health. In this computer artwork, we witness a vivid illustration of diseased gums and teeth, highlighting the inflammation and bleeding caused by this condition. As the most common cause of tooth loss, gum disease is a serious concern for dental health. The build-up of plaque, a film consisting of bacteria, on both teeth and gums triggers this distressing disorder. Interestingly, smokers are more susceptible to gum disease compared to non-smokers. However, there is hope for treatment through thorough cleaning of the affected areas. Dentistry plays a crucial role in combating gum disease as it addresses not only the decay but also other related conditions such as caries and gingivitis. With its focus on oral health care, dentists strive to prevent further damage to our precious pearly whites. This medical artwork serves as an educational tool that sheds light on the consequences of neglecting proper dental hygiene. By raising awareness about gum disease's impact on overall well-being, it encourages individuals to prioritize their oral health and seek timely professional intervention when necessary.
