🦷 What Is Periodontal (Gum) Disease?
Periodontal disease is a chronic infection of the gums and bone that support your teeth.
It often starts silently — without pain — but over time it can lead to:
• Bleeding gums
• Gum recession
• Bad breath
• Loose teeth
• Tooth loss
🛑 Once it’s advanced, brushing alone is not enough.
The good news?
Early diagnosis and treatment can save your teeth.
Healthy gums don’t just protect your smile — they support your overall health.
