Why Is Gum Health Important?

Your gums play a vital role in supporting your teeth and maintaining your oral health. However, gum disease (periodontitis) can silently damage these structures if left untreated. It begins with plaque and tartar buildup, leading to inflammation and infection.

Over time, untreated gum disease can result in:

  • Receding gums that expose tooth roots.
  • Loose or missing teeth.
  • Jawbone deterioration.
  • Systemic health risks, such as heart disease and diabetes.

With early diagnosis and proper treatment, gum disease is manageable and preventable.

What Is Gum Disease and Its Stages?

Gingivitis

The earliest stage of gum disease, marked by red, swollen gums. It is reversible with proper care and cleanings.

Periodontitis

An advanced stage where gum infection damages the soft tissue and bone supporting your teeth.

Advanced Periodontitis:

If untreated, periodontitis can lead to significant bone loss, loose teeth, and even tooth loss.
