A gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that surround and support the teeth. It typically begins with gingivitis, characterized by inflammation, redness, and bleeding of the gums due to plaque buildup. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, leading to deeper tissue damage, tooth loss, and other health complications. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are essential for prevention and management.
