What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease (commonly called gum disease) is a progressive bacterial infection that affects the gums and the bone supporting your teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss, loose teeth, and eventually tooth loss.
Fortunately, when diagnosed early, periodontal disease can often be treated successfully, helping preserve your oral health for years to come.
Stages of Gum Disease
Gingivitis
The earliest stage of gum disease is often marked by red, swollen, or bleeding gums. At this stage, damage has not yet occurred to the supporting bone, and treatment is typically straightforward.
Periodontitis
As gum disease progresses, bacteria spread beneath the gumline, creating pockets around the teeth. Without treatment, inflammation can damage the bone supporting the teeth and increase the risk of tooth loss.
Routine dental examinations help identify these changes early. Often before significant symptoms develop.
Could You Have Gum Disease?
Common warning signs include:
- Bleeding while brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Pain while chewing
- Tooth sensitivity
If you notice any of these symptoms, a periodontal evaluation can help determine the most appropriate treatment.
More Than Oral Health
Healthy gums support more than just a beautiful smile.
Research has identified associations between periodontal disease and systemic conditions including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and cognitive decline. Because gum disease is a chronic inflammatory condition, treating it early may help support both your oral health and overall well-being.
