Understanding Gum Disease

What it is and why it matters.

Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a chronic infection of the gums and supporting bone. It often begins as gingivitis, red, swollen, or bleeding gums and can progress to periodontitis, where gums pull away from teeth, pockets deepen, bone is lost, and teeth loosen. While most common in adults, teens can be affected when plaque is not removed effectively. Early diagnosis and consistent care help protect your smile and prevent tooth loss.
