What is periodontal disease?

Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is an inflammatory condition affecting the tissues surrounding the teeth. It starts as gingivitis, with symptoms like red, swollen gums, and can progress to more severe forms, leading to tooth loss.

Signs of periodontal disease include:

• Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
• Persistent bad breath
• Receding gums
• Loose teeth
• Pain when chewing. Regular dental cleanings and check-ups can help in early detection.
