Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common but serious condition that affects the gums and bones supporting the teeth. It begins with the inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) caused by plaque buildup on teeth. When left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, leading to irreversible damage to the gums and bone structure that supports the teeth.

Yes, although less common in younger age groups, children and adolescents can develop gum disease, especially if they have poor oral hygiene habits or certain health conditions.
Watch for symptoms such as persistent bad breath, gums that bleed easily, gums that are red, swollen, or tender, receding gums, and changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite.
Treating gum disease is crucial to prevent tooth loss, maintain oral health, and potentially reduce the risk of associated systemic health conditions. Early intervention can also help preserve your smile and avoid more invasive treatments in the future.
