Periodontal disease, commonly referred to as gum disease, is a prevalent ailment that impacts the tissues encompassing and upholding the teeth. The initial stage is gingivitis, characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed easily, typically stemming from inadequate oral hygiene resulting in the accumulation of plaque. Without intervention, it can advance to periodontitis, prompting the gums to recede from the teeth and form pockets susceptible to infection, ultimately risking tooth loss and deterioration of the jawbone.
