Periodontal disease is a chronic infection of the gums that affects the supporting structures of the teeth. It begins as gingivitis (gum inflammation) and can progress to periodontitis, which may lead to tooth and bone loss if untreated.
The primary cause is plaque—a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, certain medical conditions, and genetic factors can increase your risk.
Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, is reversible with professional cleanings and improved oral hygiene. Advanced periodontitis can be managed and controlled, but not fully reversed.
Most procedures are minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia. Patients may feel slight discomfort during or after treatment, which is typically mild and short-lived.
Signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, bad breath, receding gums, or loose teeth. A periodontal evaluation during your exam helps determine if treatment is necessary.
