What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is an infection of the gums caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar. The bacteria in tartar irritate and inflame the gums, leading to gingivitis and potentially progressing to periodontitis. This can result in significant damage to the soft tissue and bone that support the teeth.

What Are The Main Complications of Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss, receding gums, and bone damage. Additionally, it is linked to broader health issues such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and complications during pregnancy. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent these severe health problems.
