What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease is a progressive condition, with two main stages called gingivitis and periodontitis. The mildest form of periodontal disease, gingivitis is generally indicated with red, swollen, or inflamed gums, along with bleeding while gently brushing or flossing. Although easily reversible, if left untreated, it can develop into periodontitis. This more destructive stage is where gum tissue and bone are eaten away at as a result of the immune system attacking the built-up bacteria on the teeth. As the gum line starts to recede and create infected pockets, severe periodontitis can result in tooth loss and more serious health conditions.

What Causes Periodontal Disease?

Some of the causes of periodontal disease include:

• Poor oral hygiene
• Family history
• Tobacco use
• Certain medications
• Hormonal changes
