Gum Disease
Protecting the Foundation of Your Smile
Understanding Gum Disease
Your gums do more than hold your teeth in place, they protect your body from harmful bacteria. Advanced gum disease has been linked to systemic health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
Gum disease often starts silently, with early symptoms like redness, swelling, tenderness, or bleeding when brushing or flossing. Left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, causing gum recession, bone loss, loose teeth, and eventually tooth loss. Keeping your gums healthy supports your whole-body wellness. Healthy gums help:
Prevent tooth loss and maintain a stable bite
Support proper chewing and clear speech
Keep harmful bacteria from entering the bloodstream
Maintain a confident, natural smile
Gum Disease Prevention Tips
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a chronic infection that affects the tissues and bone supporting your teeth. When caught early, it can be managed effectively to protect both your oral health and overall well-being.
Brush Twice Daily
Use fluoride toothpaste and gentle circular motions to clean along the gumline.
Floss Every Day
Remove plaque and food particles between teeth where your toothbrush can’t reach.
Schedule Regular Checkups
Professional cleanings every 4–6 months keep gums healthy and detect early changes.
Avoid Tobacco Products
Smoking and chewing tobacco significantly increase gum disease risk.
