About Gum Disease
Gum disease develops when bacteria from plaque and tartar irritate the gums, causing inflammation and infection. In its early stage, gingivitis leads to redness, swelling, and bleeding gums. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, which may result in gum recession, tooth loss, and other serious complications.
