What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease is a bacterial infection of the gums caused by plaque and tartar buildup. It progresses through stages:

Gingivitis

Early-stage gum disease characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding gums.

Periodontitis

Advanced gum disease that can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss if untreated.

Signs and Symptoms of Gum Disease

Gum Treatment Options

Scaling and Root Planing

Gingival Grafting

Restores receded gums to protect tooth roots and improve aesthetics.

Periodontal Maintenance

Regular cleanings to prevent recurrence of gum disease.

Preventative Measures for Healthy Gums

The Importance of Early Treatment

Gum disease is a progressive condition that worsens over time. Early diagnosis and treatment during gingivitis can prevent it from advancing to periodontitis. Untreated gum disease can lead to serious complications, including tooth loss and increased risk of systemic health issues like heart disease and diabetes.
