Understanding Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a serious condition that affects not only your gums but also the bone and tissues that support your teeth. It begins with gingivitis, an early stage of gum inflammation caused by plaque buildup, and can progress to periodontitis, a more severe form of the disease that can lead to gum recession, tooth mobility, and even tooth loss. Key risk factors include poor oral hygiene, smoking, genetics, certain medical conditions like diabetes, and hormonal changes.

Signs and Symptoms of Periodontal Disease

Recognizing the early signs of periodontal disease is crucial to preventing long-term damage. Symptoms to watch for include:

• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
• Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth
• Receding gums or tooth sensitivity
• Loose teeth or changes in bite

Why Treatment is Important
