What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease, also known as "gum disease," occurs when bacteria in plaque and tartar irritate and infect the gums. Early stages, called "gingivitis," may cause redness, swelling, and bleeding, while more advanced periodontitis can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.
Common signs of periodontal issues include:
- Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Gum recession or sensitive teeth
- Loose or shifting teeth
Regular checkups and professional care are key to preventing these complications.
