Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums and supporting bone caused by bacteria in plaque. Symptoms include bad breath, swollen gums, and bleeding. If untreated, it can lead to tooth loss. Gum disease progresses through three stages: gingivitis, periodontitis, and advanced periodontitis. Early treatment is essential to prevent further damage and restore gum health.
