Collection: Gum Disease
What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common inflammatory condition that affects the gums and the tissues supporting the teeth. It is typically caused by the buildup of bacteria-rich plaque and tartar along the gumline, leading to swelling, bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, and in severe cases, tooth loss.
Contributing factors include poor oral hygiene, smoking, high sugar intake, diabetes, and nutritional deficiencies. If left untreated, gum disease can progress from gingivitis to more serious periodontitis, damaging both the gums and jawbone.
Managing gum disease naturally involves fighting bacterial overgrowth, soothing inflammation, and supporting tissue repair to promote long-term oral health.
