It is easy to recognize gum diseases. Many signs will signal a person is suffering from gum disease. For example, swelling, bleeding, and also red gums.

The most common symptoms of tooth decay are bad breath, toothache when eating, and black spots on the tooth. Visit the dentist and brush your teeth twice daily to prevent tooth decay.

Broken Teeth
