What is gum disease?

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and supporting structures of your teeth. It develops in stages:

Gingivitis: Early stage with symptoms like red, swollen, or bleeding gums

Periodontitis: Advanced stage with bone loss, gum recession, and loose teeth

If untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and has been linked to serious systemic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
