Tag: Gum Disease

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and tissues supporting the teeth. It is caused by the buildup of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth and gums. When left untreated, gum disease can lead to inflammation, bleeding, and eventually tooth loss. Symptoms of gum disease include redness, swelling, bad breath, loose teeth, and receding gums. Maintaining good oral hygiene practices such as brushing twice a day, flossing regularly, and visiting a dentist for checkups and cleanings can help prevent and treat gum disease.
