Understanding Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease is an inflammatory condition caused by bacteria in plaque, a sticky film that constantly forms on your teeth. If plaque isn’t removed effectively through daily brushing and flossing, it can harden into tartar, irritating your gums and leading to inflammation.
Stages of Gum Disease
- Gingivitis: The earliest stage of gum disease, characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums.
- Periodontitis: As the infection progresses, it can damage the tissues and bone supporting your teeth, leading to gum recession, pockets between teeth and gums, and eventually tooth loss.
Symptoms of Gum Disease
Recognizing the early signs of gum disease is crucial for prompt treatment and preventing further damage. Common symptoms include:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing
- Receding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Loose teeth
- Changes in your bite
Causes of Gum Disease
While plaque buildup is the primary cause of gum disease, other factors can contribute to its development, including:
- Poor oral hygiene
- Smoking
- Genetics
- Hormonal changes
- Certain medical conditions
