What Is Gum Disease?

Periodontitis, commonly known as gum disease, can significantly impact your oral health. It often develops due to poor oral hygiene, allowing bacterial plaque to build up and harden into tartar beneath the gumline. This advanced gum infection can harm the soft tissues around the teeth, leading to inflammation, tenderness, and discomfort.If you’re experiencing symptoms like bleeding or receding gums, gingivitis, or increased tooth sensitivity, you may be dealing with periodontal disease. At Aplus Dentistry, we offer a full range of periodontal treatments designed to restore and maintain healthy gums—so you can smile with confidence again.

The Warning Signs of Gum Disease

Bleeding, tender, or swollen gums

Bleeding, tender, or swollen gums are often early warning signs of gum disease and should never be ignored. These symptoms may result from plaque buildup, poor oral hygiene, or underlying health conditions.

Receding gums

occur when the gum tissue pulls away from the teeth, exposing more of the tooth or its root. This condition can lead to sensitivity, an increased risk of decay, and even tooth loss if left untreated.

Shifting or loose teeth

Shifting or loose teeth can be a sign of advanced gum disease, bone loss, or trauma, and should be addressed as soon as possible. These changes not only affect your bite and appearance but may also indicate deeper issues within the gums or jawbone.

Tooth sensitivity

Tooth sensitivity can make everyday activities like eating, drinking, or even breathing in cold air uncomfortable. It’s often caused by exposed dentin due to enamel wear, receding gums, or dental issues like cavities or cracked teeth.
