Inflammation of the periodontium (tissues around teeth). Gingivitis is “Inflammation of the gingiva (the gums) as a response to bacterial plaque on adjacent teeth characterized by erythema (reddening), edema (swelling), and fibrous enlargement of the gingiva without resorption of the underlying alveolar bone.” There are two levels to gum disease: gingivitis and the more severe, periodontitis. It is caused by plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms constantly on teeth.” If your teeth don’t get brushed, this plaque will harden and cause inflammation that leads to sore, bleeding gums, painful chewing problems, and even tooth loss. So, what is gum disease?Īccording to the American Dental Association, periodontal disease (a.k.a Gum Disease) “is an inflammation of the gums that, if severe, can lead to the loss of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. Consequently, the CDC currently estimates that roughly half of all American’s suffer from some form of gum disease . In fact, many people substitute a stick of gum for a toothbrush during their day to keep their breath fresh, and while this is great for noses everywhere, it’s likely not enough for your teeth. It’s easy for us to overlook our teeth in today’s busy times.
Now, I know there are a variety of reasons a person may not be brushing and flossing enough, and the most common is likely that they’re too busy. To many, the jokes feel almost perfunctory now, and the overlay of references between the Trumps’ real-life actions and the stuff of horror films feels less ironic and more like a form of obligatory commentary.Gum disease itself is caused by poor and inadequate oral hygiene, meaning the person either doesn’t brush enough, doesn’t floss enough, or both. The notion that the first lady was somehow a victim of her husband’s tyranny may have reigned for much of the first year of Trump’s presidency, but her controversial choice of jacket over the summer, as well as her dubiously chosen African safari gear, seems to have established her as a villain in her own right.Ĭonsequently, it makes perfect sense that meme culture - which tends to reflect our collective social and political anxieties - has jumped at the chance to revive the Evil White House Christmas meme, but in a darker and more pointed fashion. One thing that’s strikingly different between this year’s Evil White House Christmas meme and last year’s is that this time around, no one’s making jokes about Melania being “trapped” or imprisoned in the White House.
