What is
Periodontal
Disease?
Periodontal disease is a progressive inflammatory dental condition that affects the tissue surrounding the teeth and the bone in later stages.
The initial stage of periodontal disease is gingivitis, where your gums become inflamed due to the buildup of plaque. If left untreated, plaque hardens, and tartar accumulates around your teeth. After a time, the inflammation of the gums results in a formation of pockets between gums and teeth. This pocket allows bacteria, plaque, and tartar to penetrate deeper, affecting the bone. This stage is called periodontitis, and at this stage, you can expect shifting of your teeth or even tooth loss.
Signs of Periodontal Disease
- Teeth that appear longer. Periodontal disease can cause gum recession, making your teeth look longer.
- Inexplicable, persistent bad breath.
- Redness, swelling, or pain around the gum tissue or jaw bone.
- Unexplained bleeding when brushing, flossing or eating food.
- Loose teeth or a change in bite pattern.
- Oozing from in between teeth.
