Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a serious condition that affects the tissues surrounding and supporting your teeth. It starts with gum inflammation and can progress to more severe forms if left untreated. Here’s what you need to know:
Gingivitis
The earliest stage of gum disease, characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums, often caused by plaque buildup.
Periodontitis
A more advanced stage where gum inflammation leads to the loss of bone and tissue around the teeth, potentially causing tooth mobility and loss.
Advanced Periodontitis
The most severe stage, which can lead to significant damage to the gums, bones, and cause tooth loss.
The Importance of Early Treatment
Addressing gum disease early is crucial to preventing more severe complications. Early intervention can:
-
- Stop the progression of gum disease
-
- Prevent tooth loss and bone damage
-
- Restore gum health and function
-
- Improve overall oral hygiene
