What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease affects nearly half of adults over 30 — and many don't know they have it. Left untreated, it destroys the bone supporting your teeth, leading to tooth loss. The good news? Gum disease is treatable, especially when caught early.

Signs You May Have Gum Disease

  • Bleeding when brushing or flossing
  • Red, swollen, or tender gums
  • Gums pulling away from teeth
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Loose teeth or changes in bite
