What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common infection of the gums caused by the buildup of plaque and bacteria around the teeth. It often begins as gingivitis, which may cause redness, swelling, and bleeding when brushing or flossing. Without treatment, it can progress to periodontitis, meaning it has the potential to cause bone tissue loss and even tooth loss. Early detection and professional care are essential for preventing gum disease and maintaining long-term oral health.
