Gum disease, also known as periodontitis, is a common but potentially serious condition that can lead to tooth loss if not treated properly. It begins as gingivitis, with symptoms like red, swollen, or bleeding gums. Without appropriate intervention, it can progress to periodontitis, where the inflammation spreads to the structures supporting the teeth, leading to gum recession and even bone loss. Treatment of gum disease includes professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, scaling and root planing to smooth the root surfaces, and in advanced cases, surgical procedures. The goal is to control the infection, halt the progression of the disease, and restore the health of the gums and supporting structures.
