Periodontal or gum disease is an infection of the tissues surrounding and supporting your teeth, and is a leading cause of tooth loss in American adults. Plaque is the sticky film of bacteria that’s brushed and flossed away with proper oral care. When left on the teeth, plaque produces toxins that attack below your gum line in the sulcus, a shallow v-shaped crevice between your tooth and gums. This causes the bond between teeth and gums to break down.
In the early stage of gum disease, known as gingivitis, gums may become red and swollen and bleed easily. In the more advanced stage, periodontal disease, teeth can loosen and fall out. Good oral hygiene and regular dental exams are essential to prevent and detect gum disease early — especially since you can have it without any warning signs. Signs of gum disease include:
- Gums that are red, swollen, tender, bleed easily or have pulled away from the teeth
- Persistent bad breath or bad taste
- Loose or separating teeth
- A change in the way your teeth fit together
- A change in the fit of partial dentures
Your risk of developing gum disease may relate to the following habits and conditions:
- Tobacco smoking or chewing
- Systemic diseases such as diabetes
- Medications such as steroids, anti-epilepsy drugs, cancer therapy drugs and calcium channel blockers
- Pregnancy or use of oral contraceptives
- Crooked teeth
- Worn bridges or fillings
