Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease is a common condition that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It typically begins with plaque buildup along the gumline, which can lead to inflammation and infection if not properly managed. In its early stages, gum disease may cause redness, swelling, or bleeding during brushing and flossing.


If left untreated, it can progress and impact the stability of your teeth and overall oral health. Early detection and consistent care are key to preventing more advanced stages and maintaining healthy gums.
