Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an inflammatory condition affecting the tissues surrounding your teeth. It typically begins with gingivitis, marked by red, swollen gums that may bleed during brushing or flossing. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease that can lead to tooth loss and other complications. Regular dental check-ups are crucial for early detection and intervention, allowing us to develop a personalized plan to address and manage gum disease effectively.
Gum disease, clinically known as periodontal disease, manifests through a variety of signs and symptoms, impacting the gums and potentially the supporting structures of the teeth.

Gingivitis is the initial stage of gum disease, characterized by inflammation of the gums. Common signs include redness, swelling, and bleeding during brushing or flossing.
If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to early periodontitis. In this stage, the inflammation extends deeper into the supporting structures of the teeth, leading to the formation of pockets between the gums and teeth.
Moderate periodontitis involves further progression of the disease, with increased pocket depth and potential bone loss. Patients may experience more noticeable symptoms, such as persistent bad breath and tooth sensitivity.
At this advanced stage, the supporting bone and tissues around the teeth are significantly compromised. Teeth may become loose, and there is an increased risk of tooth loss. Severe infection and abscess formation are possible.
