What is periodontal Disease?

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease or gingivitis, is a chronic inflammation and infection of the gums. It’s the number one cause of adult tooth loss.

It is critical to know the signs of gum disease and to seek early treatment.

Cause of gum disease

Gum disease is caused by the bacteria in plaque, which is that sticky film that forms on our teeth. If it’s not removed by brushing and flossing, plaque hardens into tartar and must be removed by a professional cleaning.

Plaque is a host for bacteria, which multiply and can get down between the teeth and the gums. This causes the gum tissue to pull away from the teeth, which creates pockets, which invite further bacterial growth.
Signs of gum disease

Red, swollen or tender gums

Bleeding while brushing or flossing
Loose teeth
Pus between gums and teeth
Persistent bad breath
Prevention
Ongoing good dental hygiene is the way to prevent gum disease. If you’ve been having some gum bleeding or swelling, don’t delay in visiting your dentist, because gum disease is a vicious circle and the longer it’s allowed to continue, the harder it is to break that vicious circle.
Eventually, you could lose all your teeth if no action is taken. Your dentist can evaluate your periodontal condition and recommend treatment accordingly.
