What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal (gum) disease is a chronic infection of the tissues that support your teeth. Without treatment, it can lead to:
- Gum recession
- Bone loss
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Tooth loss
- Increased risk for systemic health conditions
The good news? Gum disease is treatable and manageable, especially when detected early.
Symptoms of Gum Disease
You may benefit from a periodontal evaluation if you notice:
Bleeding when brushing or flossing
Red, swollen, or tender gums
Persistent bad breath
Gum recession or longer-looking teeth
Teeth that feel loose or sensitive
