What Is Gum Disease?
Understanding the Stages and Risks
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a chronic inflammatory condition caused by plaque and tartar buildup around the gumline. Left untreated, it can progress from mild gingivitis to advanced periodontitis, leading to gum recession, tooth mobility, and even tooth loss. The American Dental Association explains how gum disease develops and why early intervention is essential for protecting long-term oral health.
