Gum disease is an infection that affects the gums and the bone supporting your teeth. It can cause bleeding, swelling, gum recession, and even tooth loss. Because it’s often painless, regular checkups and cleanings are the best way to catch issues early.

Gum disease develops from plaque and tartar buildup below the gum line, which can eventually damage the bone supporting your teeth if left untreated.

Common signs include:

• Bleeding or swollen gums
• Bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
• Gum recession or root exposure
• Loose or shifting teeth

While early gum inflammation can often be reversed with care, bone loss cannot grow back once it has occurred. That’s why prevention through regular cleanings is so important.

If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and may increase the risk of other health problems such as heart disease, stroke, complications with diabetes, and pregnancy issues.
