Gum disease is serious
Gingivitis is easy to ignore because there is no pain and symptoms are mild. You may notice bleeding when you brush or floss, have troublesome breath, or see that gums look puffy and discolored. Without treatment, the condition progresses to periodontitis, with inflammation and infection reaching deeper oral structures. Periodontal disease can result in tooth and bone loss, with potential systemic implications.
Gum disease is caused by overpopulation of harmful strains of bacteria. They create a sticky, protective film of plaque that traps sugars and starches. As they feed, they produce acid excretions that irritate gum tissue. If plaque is not removed regularly, it hardens into tartar. This crust at the gum line results in further irritation and inflammation. Gums lose their seal to teeth, and bacteria are free to penetrate deeper, attacking stabilizing connective tissues and bone. Oral bacteria that enter the bloodstream are linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease (heart attack and stroke), diabetes, and other systemic illnesses.

3 Stages of Gum Disease & How to Prevent Early?
Gum Disease – the 3 stages of gum disease are gingivitis, periodontitis and advanced periodontitis. Gingivitis is caused by toxins irritating the gum line as a result of plaque buildup. Signs and symptoms of gingivitis include swelling, sensitivity and bleeding of the gums during brushing and flossing. Gingivitis can be easily reversed through professional care and good home oral hygiene. Periodontitis is categorized by irreversible bone loss that results from untreated gingivitis. The gums may begin to form a pocket below the gum line which traps food and plaque. Dental treatment and home care can help prevent from further damage but at this stage, the results are not reversible. Advanced periodontitis is when the fibers and bones supporting the teeth are destroyed. This may cause teeth to shift or loosen. Teeth may have to be removed depending on how enhanced the disease is become and if treatments are not effective. You can begin by preventing gum disease with good oral health.
