Gum Disease

Are Your Gums Bleeding or Swollen?

Gum disease is one of the most common oral health conditions and often develops without noticeable pain in its early stages. Symptoms such as bleeding while brushing, swollen gums, persistent bad breath, or gum recession may indicate an infection that requires professional treatment.

If left untreated, gum disease can progress, causing bone loss, loose teeth, and eventually tooth loss.

What Causes Gum Disease?

Gum disease may develop due to:

• Plaque and tartar buildup

• Poor oral hygiene

• Smoking and tobacco use

• Diabetes and certain medical conditions

• Hormonal changes

• Genetic factors

• Dry mouth

• Poorly fitted dental restorations
