In an interview, Dr Muhigana Adelaide, a dentist who spoke to Kigali Today on February 9, 2023, said that the disease Rwandans often call Ifumbi affects the gums
Dr Muhigana says that dust is a disease that affects the gums, damages them and also affects the teeth due to not having enough hygiene
The disease can also affect the chin bone, where if it is not restored, the teeth will be lost and the person will be left without teeth
Dr Muhigana says that dust disease is also one of the diseases that will satisfy the teeth, but its specialty is that the gum is the first to get sick and it is shown that a person starts bleeding from the gum swells and eats it
Tooth dust infection is often caused by ‘infections’ from bacteria that result from poor hygiene and good oral training
If left untreated early, it can be a very serious disease of periodontitis These two diseases are some of the most common in different people around the world
When a person has dust, it is characterized by swelling of the gums and starts bleeding. This can be when brushing your teeth or when blood comes out for no apparent reason
The best way to prevent this disease is to wash your mouth thoroughly after eating.
A person can also use a thread to pass through the middle of the teeth and remove the food that is left between the teeth.
Many people don’t know how to brush their teeth with thread, according to Mukakimenyi Annonciate
The way I’m used to is to use a toothbrush but I didn’t know how to use a thread
Fighting this disease does nothing but keep your mouth clean. Brush your teeth with a special medicine after eating.
