Understanding gum disease is the first step toward protecting your oral health. Learn about the types, causes, and treatments we offer.
What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is an infection of the tissues that surround and support your teeth. It is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults and affects millions of people worldwide. The condition ranges from simple gum inflammation (gingivitis) to serious disease that results in damage to the soft tissue and bone that support the teeth.
At All Smiles Dental Care, we take a proactive approach to periodontal health. Early detection and treatment are essential to preventing the progression of gum disease and preserving your natural teeth.
Signs and Symptoms
Periodontal disease can develop silently without causing pain, which is why regular dental checkups are so important. Warning signs include:
- Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Gums that have pulled away from the teeth (recession)
- Persistent bad breath or bad taste in the mouth
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite
- Pus between your teeth and gums
