Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection of the gums that can severely impact your oral health. Left untreated, it can damage the bone that supports your teeth, leading to tooth loss and other serious health issues. Periodontal disease ranges from mild gingivitis to severe periodontitis, each stage requiring timely and effective treatment.

Causes of Gum Disease:

‍Gum disease is primarily caused by the buildup of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria on teeth and gums. Several factors can increase the risk of developing periodontal disease, including:

• Smoking and tobacco use
• Diabetes
• Stress
• Genetic predisposition
• Crooked teeth that are hard to clean
• Certain medications that reduce saliva flow
• Hormonal changes, particularly in women, such as those occurring during pregnancy or menopause
