The Importance of Treating Gum Disease

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, occurs due to the inflammation of the soft tissue and supporting ligaments around the teeth. Gum disease is classified into four stages: gingivitis, mild or moderate periodontal disease, and advanced periodontitis. In the initial stage, the gums appear swollen, red, and tend to bleed easily. Over time, gum disease can deteriorate the bone and tissue, leading to loose teeth and, in severe cases, tooth loss.

Additionally, gum disease has broader implications for overall health. It has been linked to several systemic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. Treating gum disease promptly can prevent further damage to your oral health and reduces the risk of developing other health issues.
