The discipline that cares for your gums

Periodontal disease affects both the gums and the bone supporting the teeth. It often results from poor oral hygiene and plaque accumulation.

Plaque is a sticky film of food debris, bacteria, and saliva. If not removed, it hardens into tartar, which triggers inflammation and deteriorates the bond between the gums and the bone.

Statistics show that four out of five people have periodontal disease without knowing it, as the early stages are typically painless.

Beyond being the leading cause of tooth loss, ongoing research suggests a potential link between periodontal disease and conditions like stroke, bacterial pneumonia, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Smoking further increases the risk.

Good oral hygiene, a balanced diet, and regular dental visits are key to reducing the risk of developing this condition.

Signs and symptoms of periodontal disease

• Red and bleeding gums:
  Healthy gums should never bleed, even during vigorous brushing or flossing.
  

• Loose teeth:
  Often caused by bone loss or weakened periodontal fibers that support the teeth.
  

• Persistent bad breath:
  Accumulated plaque fosters bacterial growth, leading to unpleasant odors.
