Gum disease is a common condition that affects many people at some point in their lives. While it is preventable with proper oral care, if left untreated, it can lead to more serious issues such as excessive bleeding gums, gum recession, bad breath, and even tooth loss. 

What Causes Gum Disease?

Gum disease begins with the build-up of excessive bacteria in plaque, which hardens over time to form tartar. This creates a breeding ground for bacteria, irritating the gums and causing inflammation. There are two primary stages of gum disease: 

Stage 1: Gingivitis (Early & Reversible Gum Disease) 

Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease and is entirely reversible if caught in time. It starts with the inflammation of the gums, making them red, swollen, and prone to bleeding, especially when brushing or eating. The most noticeable symptom is often the bleeding. At this stage, the bone and connective tissue holding your teeth in place are not yet affected, which means effective treatment can completely restore your gum health. 

Stage 2: Periodontitis (Advanced Gum Disease) 

If gingivitis is left untreated, it can advance to periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease. Periodontitis affects not only the gums but also the bone and tissues that support your teeth. As the condition progresses, the gums begin to pull away from the teeth, creating pockets where more bacteria can accumulate. Over time, the bone that anchors your teeth starts to deteriorate, causing the teeth to loosen and eventually fall out. 

Symptoms of Gum Disease to Watch For:

• Swollen, red, or bleeding gums
• Persistent bad breath (halitosis)
• Gum recession (gums pulling away from the teeth)
• Loose or shifting teeth
• Pain when chewing or brushing
• Increased sensitivity to hot or cold foods
