Gum Disease is a common yet serious infection that targets the soft tissue in your mouth and the bone supporting your teeth. Chronic periodontitis can also cause or contribute to systemic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, low birth weight babies and even potentially Altzheimer`s disease.<\/p>\n
One of the first signs of gum disease is when your gums bleed during brushing, yet few people take note or concern when they see a little \u201cpink in the sink\u201d when rinsing out their mouth after brushing.<\/p>\n
And yet, gum disease is a serious issue that needs to be treated as soon as possible to avoid further complications such as the development of periodontal disease, and even eventual tooth loss.

The initial cause of gum disease normally stems from bacteria in the mouth\u2014 both the good and the bad. When debris becomes trapped in your mouth, and a good old-fashioned brushing can\u2019t reach it, bad bacteria begin to fester in the debris before spreading to your gums.<\/p>\n
The good bacteria of your immune system responds, but the ensuing battle of bacteria further weakens the area, causing inflammation and damaging the bone and surrounding tissues that hold your teeth in place.

It starts as gingivitis and then worsens as bacteria build up in your mouth. Gingivitis may also be accompanied by inflammation or discolouration of the gums around your teeth.<\/p>\n Gum disease often comes from bacteria protected by plaque built up along your teeth and gum line. Left undisturbed, this plaque can harden into tartar, which cannot be removed through traditional brushing and flossing routines.<\/p>\n Following the bleeding of gums and buildup of plaque, those with gum disease may notice symptoms including:<\/p>\n
