What Are Gum Diseases?
Gum disease (or periodontal disease) includes a range of conditions affecting the gums and supporting structures of teeth:
Gingivitis: Early-stage inflammation gums appear red, swollen, and may bleed easily with brushing or flossing
Periodontitis: Advanced infection leading to gum recession, tooth sensitivity, shifting teeth, and even bone loss.
Common Signs & Risk Factors
Watch for symptoms like:
- Bleeding or pain on gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums or longer-looking teeth
- Loose or shifting teeth
- White or yellow discharge (pus) from gums
Risk factors include smoking, diabetes, poor oral hygiene, teeth grinding, genetics and certain medications.
