Protect Your Oral Health with Effective Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a serious oral health condition caused by plaque and bacterial buildup, leading to gum inflammation, infection, and even tooth loss if left untreated. It progresses gradually, starting with mild symptoms and worsening over time if not managed properly.
While gum disease is common, early diagnosis and treatment can prevent serious complications such as bone loss, chronic bad breath, and even links to systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
Gum disease often develops without noticeable pain, making it important to watch for early warning signs, including:
Gum disease is largely preventable with the right oral care habits:
Yes, gingivitis (early-stage gum disease) can be reversed with proper oral care and professional cleanings.
Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bone damage, and increased health risks like heart disease and diabetes
Regular 6-month dental visits help detect gum disease early, but high-risk patients may need more frequent cleanings.
Yes, bacteria and infection in the gums can lead to chronic bad breath (halitosis).
Mild gum disease may not cause pain, but advanced periodontitis can result in discomfort and swelling.
