What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease often begins quietly, but over time, it can lead to discomfort, tooth loss, and serious oral health complications.
It’s an infection of the gums caused by harmful bacteria that collect beneath the gumline, gradually damaging the tissue and bone that support your teeth. Left untreated, gum disease doesn’t just affect your smile; it can also impact your overall health and quality of life.
How You Can Check for Active Gum Disease
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
- Receding gums or teeth that appear longer
- Sensitivity along the gumline
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Changes in how your teeth fit together
