What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection of the tissues that support your teeth. It begins as gingivitis—mild inflammation that can be reversed with professional care. If untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, which causes permanent damage to the gums, bone, and teeth.
Signs of Gum Disease
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession or teeth looking longer
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Sensitive teeth or pain when chewing
Treatment Options at Ballantrae Dental
