What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is a bacterial infection affecting the gums and supporting structures around your teeth. In its early stages, it may cause redness, swelling or bleeding during brushing. If left untreated, it can progress and affect the bone supporting your teeth.
Regular dental examinations and professional hygiene appointments help identify gum disease early, allowing treatment to begin before more serious problems develop.
