Gum Disease Treatment And After-care
Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an inflammatory condition caused by plaque buildup, leading to infections and gum inflammation. If untreated, it can cause tooth loss. Symptoms include bleeding gums, bad breath, and loose teeth. Regular dental visits and proper oral care are essential for prevention.

Types of Gum Disease
- Gingivitis
The mildest form, characterised by red, swollen gums that bleed easily due to plaque buildup along the gum line. It can be reversed with good oral hygiene and professional cleanings. - Periodontitis
A severe form affecting the gum tissue and bone supporting the teeth. It causes gum recession, loose teeth, and may lead to tooth loss. While not fully reversible, it can be managed with treatment.
