Gum disease typically begins with poor oral hygiene, leading to the accumulation of plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—on the teeth and gums. If plaque is not removed through regular brushing and flossing, it can harden into tartar, which irritates the gum tissue and can result in gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease. Symptoms may include redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to more severe forms of gum disease, such as periodontitis.
Does gum disease increase your risk of stroke?

How does gum disease work?
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, begins with the accumulation of plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—on the teeth. If not removed through proper oral hygiene, this plaque can harden into tartar, leading to inflammation of the gums (gingivitis). As the condition progresses, it can damage the tissues and bone supporting the teeth, potentially resulting in tooth loss. Factors such as smoking, diabetes, and hormonal changes can exacerbate gum disease.
