Unlocking the Secrets to Lasting Dental Health
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition that affects the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth. It is caused by bacteria in plaque, a sticky film that forms on the teeth. If not removed through regular brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into tartar, leading to inflammation of the gums (gingivitis). If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to gum disease, causing the gums to pull away from the teeth, forming pockets that can become prone to infection. Over time, untreated gum disease can damage the bone that supports the teeth, leading to tooth loss. Symptoms of gum disease include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth.
