What is Gum Disease? Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease is
one of the most common oral diseases in the world. It is an infection of the teeth, gums and the bone
that surrounds the teeth and results from the accumulation of plaque on your teeth due to poor oral hygiene. Gum disease does not only affect your oral health
but also your overall health. Studies have shown that gum disease can cause a variety of health issues such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
What is Gum Disease? There are two stages of gum disease –
Gingivitis and Periodontitis. Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease
which can easily be reversed by following good oral hygiene and regular dental visits. If left untreated Gingivitis develops into
Periodontitis which is the advanced stage of gum disease. At this point, proper dental treatment is required to prevent tooth and bone loss.
Periodontal Disease Warning Signs Persistent Bad breath or bad taste in the mouth. Gum recession and longer appearance of teeth. Chronic inflammation of gums. Red, swollen and tender gums. Bleeding of gums whenever you brush or floss your
