The two major forms of gum disease are gingivitis and periodontitis. Periodontal disease begins as gingivitis, which can cause swelling, redness and irritation in the gums (although sometimes it can be painless). Gingivitis is reversible through good home care and routine professional cleanings. It\u2019s important to address this when it occurs as it can cause more severe issues if left untreated.<\/p><p>If left untreated, gingivitis will progress to periodontitis, a form of gum disease that will begin to infect the tissues that support the teeth, leading to loosening of the teeth and eventual tooth loss.<\/p><p>Gingivitis and periodontitis can affect people of any age. Contributing factors to periodontal disease can include poor brushing or flossing habits, tobacco use (in any form), systemic issues such as diabetes and others.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d315a90 elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d315a90\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-708f1b2\" data-id=\"708f1b2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-810c8a4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"810c8a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Treatment for periodontal disease<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b452f08 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b452f08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYour dental hygienist will first educate you on good oral hygiene.
