Periodontitis, or gum disease, is a severe inflammation of the gums that can eventually result in the loss of teeth. The tissue that anchors your teeth in place becomes infected by this form of gum disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poor dental hygiene, including not brushing and flossing regularly, can lead to the formation of this sticky, white plaque on the teeth and gums.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Typical Signs\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other frequent signs of periodontitis include red, swollen, painful gums that bleed easily when brushed.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a sour sensation in your mouth and\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bad breath<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tooth decay caused by plaque and tartar buildup<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discomfort during chewing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Displacement or\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">loosening of teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gum recession or\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the appearance of longer teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Periodontitis&#8217;s Three Formative Steps<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gum disease symptoms vary widely depending on how far along the patient&#8217;s illness process is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The initial condition is called gingivitis and is inflammation of the gums. Gums that bleed easily during routine dental care, such as brushing and flossing, are an early indicator of gingivitis. Seeing discoloration, or plaque, on your teeth is another warning sign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Periodontitis can progress to significant gum disease if not treated promptly. Symptoms include bleeding, pain, and a noticeable separation or receding of the gums and teeth. Your body&#8217;s defenses against the illness are causing your gums to recede from your teeth. Because of this, you may experience bleeding gums when you clean your teeth and\/or floss. Even worse, bone loss might cause your teeth to become loose. In fact, the infection can trigger systemic inflammation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deterioration of the connective tissue that helps anchor your teeth in place is a hallmark of the advanced gum disease stage. This means the tissues and bones that hold your teeth in place will be lost. In addition to terrible breath and a nasty taste in the mouth, people with severe gum disease may endure excruciating pain whenever they chew.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>People Most In Danger<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Gum disease is more common in some populations, including those who:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">African-American and\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Latinos<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smokers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Elderly<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those with less disposable income<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less-educated adults<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you have red, swollen, and painful gums?
