GUM DISEASE & PERIODONTAL HEALTH

The fact that your mouth is a passageway to food and drinks makes is susceptible to bacteria build-up which can lead to infection. The resulting inflammation is what is known as gum or periodontal disease.  Poor dental hygiene allows uncontrolled growth of bacteria increasing the chances of infections. When the gum lining carries a layer of bacteria any inflammation will eventually lead to infection.

Gum disease develops in stages as detailed below:

Gingivitis: When the condition is at its early stages you will suffer from bleeding when brushing and there are no other overt signs.

Periodontitis: Due to lack of symptoms Gingivitis can develop and worsen to the point of periodontitis where the dental tissue and jaw bone is affected by the infection. This could eventually lead to tooth loss.
