What Causes Gum Disease?

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is caused by plaque buildup on the teeth and gums. Bacteria in plaque produce toxins that irritate the gums, leading to inflammation. Without proper oral hygiene, this can progress to more severe stages, damaging the gums and bone supporting the teeth.

Recognizing the Symptoms of Gum Disease

Common symptoms of gum disease include red, swollen, and bleeding gums, especially during brushing or flossing. You may also experience bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment and prevention of further damage.
