What is Gum Disease (Periodontal Disease)?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums caused by plaque and bacteria buildup around the teeth.
If left untreated, it can lead to:
- Bleeding gums
- Gum recession
- Bad breath
- Tooth mobility
- Tooth loss
👉 The earlier it is treated, the easier it is to control.
Stages of Gum Disease
Gum disease treatment ranges from non-surgical deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) to surgical procedures like flap surgery or bone grafts, depending on the severity of the infection. Treatments aim to reduce inflammation, remove tartar, and eliminate gum pockets, with options including antibiotic therapy, tissue regeneration, and regular maintenance.
Gingivitis (Early Stage)
- Mild inflammation
- Bleeding gums
- Reversible with proper care
Periodontitis (Advanced Stage)
- Gum infection spreads deeper
- Bone loss begins
- Teeth may become loose
Severe Periodontitis
- Significant damage to gums and bone
- High risk of tooth loss
