Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a condition that affects the tissues that surround and support your teeth. It often begins with the accumulation of plaque, a soft, sticky film of bacteria, on your teeth. If not removed through proper oral hygiene, plaque can harden into tartar, which is difficult to remove at home. This can lead to gum inflammation (gingivitis), the initial stage of gum disease.

If gingivitis is left untreated, it can progress to a more severe form of gum disease known as periodontitis. In periodontitis, the inner layer of the gum and bone pull away from the teeth, forming pockets. These pockets can become infected, leading to the loss of tooth-supporting bone. In advanced stages, gum disease can result in tooth mobility and, in severe cases, tooth loss.
