What is periodontal (gum) disease?

Periodontal gum disease can cause permanent damage to the bone and gums surrounding the roots or the teeth. It starts with plaque spreading and growing in the gum line. This plaque harbors harmful bacteria which creates toxins and then irritates and inflames the gums.

At this point, the bacteria penetrate the bloodstream – endangering organs, tissue, vessels and potentially harms the fetus. The bone and tissue that supports the teeth start to break down and lead to a multitude of complications.

What are the symptons of periodontal gum disease?

Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
