Recognize the Problem

Know the Signs

Are you suffering from gums that bleed easily, tooth sensitivity, or bad breath? You could be one of the millions of people affected by gum disease. Many don't even realize the problem lurking beneath their gums.

The first symptoms of gum disease are subtle, beginning with bleeding, red, or swollen gums. This is caused by an infection happening below the gum tissue. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to chronic bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, or even tooth loss.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Red, swollen, or tender gums

Bleeding when brushing or flossing

Persistent bad breath or mouth odor

Receding gums or longer-looking teeth

Loose or shifting teeth

Pus between teeth and gums

Changes in your bite

Discomfort when chewing

Understanding the Problem

What Causes Gum Disease?

Gum disease is caused by the accumulation and buildup of plaque and tartar along the gum line. Plaque harbors dangerous bacteria and causes your gums to pull away from your teeth. When infected gum tissue pulls away, it creates "pockets" that fill with more plaque and bacteria, speeding up the infection process.

In severe cases, untreated gum disease can lead to loose teeth or tooth loss. A fast treatment plan is crucial for maintaining your dental health. Even those who practice good oral care can develop gum disease due to various risk factors.

Common Risk Factors

Bacterial plaque and tartar buildup

Poor oral hygiene habits

Smoking or tobacco use

Diabetes or other systemic diseases

Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause)

Genetic predisposition to gum disease

Stress and weakened immune system

Certain medications

Improper brushing or flossing techniques
