WHAT IS PERIODONTAL DISEASE?

Periodontal disease is when the bacteria in your mouth infects your gum tissues, causing them to swell. Symptoms usually include bad breath and red and swollen gums. The first stage is called gingivitis, and without treatment, it can progress to periodontitis, which causes gum recession, bone loss and tooth loss.
