Gum disease is also called gingivitis or periodontal disease. It’s a chronic bacterial infection that affects the bone and tissue of the gums.
Signs of gum disease include bleeding gums, loose teeth, pain, and swelling.
It is treatable and preventable.
Chronic mouth infections affect other organs in your body when the infection gets into your blood stream and can lead to cardiovascular problems or diabetes.
Diet is extremely important when it comes to preventing and treating gum disease.
