Periodontal Disease
Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease starts where your teeth meet the gums. Poor oral hygiene can lead to gingivitis, where gums become red and swollen. If untreated, it becomes periodontitis, which can lead to bone loss, loose teeth, and the loss of teeth. Periodontal bacteria can also enter the bloodstream, increasing risks of strokes and heart issues.
