Gum disease is often thought of as an issue that only affects older adults, but the truth is that it can develop at any age. Whether you're a teenager, in your 30s, or well into your senior years, gum disease (also known as periodontal disease) can pose serious risks to your oral health. Early signs include redness, swelling, and bleeding gums, but if left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and even impact overall health.
Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease begins with plaque buildup along the gumline. If not removed through proper brushing and flossing, this plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a professional. The bacteria in plaque and tartar irritate the gums, leading to gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease. Without intervention, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, causing deep infections and damage to the bone supporting the teeth.
Factors such as poor oral hygiene, smoking, genetics, stress, and even hormonal changes can contribute to gum disease. The good news is that early detection and proper care can help prevent and reverse its effects.
