Understanding Periodontal Disease
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a bacterial infection caused by plaque buildup along the gum line. If left untreated, it can lead to:
🚨 Gingivitis – Early-stage gum inflammation, causing red, swollen, or bleeding gums.
🚨 Periodontitis – Advanced gum disease, leading to gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss.
Early intervention is key! If you notice symptoms like bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, or loose teeth, seek treatment immediately.
