Understanding periodontal disease

Periodontal disease, also known as periodontitis, is an inflammatory condition that affects the supporting tissues of the tooth. This includes the gum, bone and periodontal ligament. It often starts with mild symptoms that can be easily ignored, such as gum inflammation or occasional bleeding while brushing. However, if left untreated, it can progress to more serious problems such as tooth loss.

Causes and symptoms

What triggers periodontal disease

The main causes of periodontal disease include the accumulation of bacterial plaque and the formation of tartar, which can lead to inflammation and infection. Factors such as poor oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes and genetic predisposition can increase the risk of developing this condition.

Symptoms to look out for

• Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing

• Inflammation and redness of the gums

• Gum recession, which can make teeth appear longer

• Feeling of tension or discomfort in the gums

• Persistent halitosis and bad taste in the mouth

• Increased tooth mobility
