What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease is a common condition caused by plaque and tartar buildup around the teeth and gums. It starts as gingivitis, with symptoms like redness, swelling, and bleeding gums. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, leading to gum recession, tooth loss, and other serious complications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What causes gum disease?

Gum disease is primarily caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar, which harbor harmful bacteria. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, genetics, and certain medical conditions like diabetes can also increase the risk of developing gum disease.

Is gum disease reversible?

In its early stage (gingivitis), gum disease is reversible with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene. However, advanced stages (periodontitis) require more intensive treatments to manage and prevent further damage.

Does gum disease treatment hurt?

Most gum disease treatments, such as scaling and root planing, are performed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort. Advanced options like laser therapy are minimally invasive and often cause less discomfort than traditional methods.

How long does gum disease treatment take?

The duration of treatment depends on the severity of the gum disease. A deep cleaning session may take one to two appointments, while advanced cases requiring surgery or laser therapy may need multiple visits and follow-up care

How can I prevent gum disease from returning?

To prevent gum disease from recurring, maintain good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing twice daily, flossing, and visiting your dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups. A healthy diet and avoiding smoking are also essential for gum health.
