Healthy Teeth Need Healthier Gums
Most forms of gum disease involve the infection and erosion of gums. Sometimes, it spreads below the gums and infects the bone that supports the teeth. Gum disease ranges from a mild condition called gingivitis that is easily reversible, to severe periodontitis that requires a more comprehensive treatment.
Why You Should Treat Gum Disease Immediately
Gum Disease Should Be Treated At The Earliest

Progression Of Bacteria And Periodontitis
Like most dental diseases, gum disease is a progressive condition. The infection is limited to the gums in the initial stages. If left untreated, it gradually spreads to the bones supporting teeth and starts eroding them. Eventually, the teeth lose their vital bone support and begin shaking. In this stage, you may experience difficulty in performing simple tasks like chewing due to the loose teeth, and also suffer from persistent bad breath. The earlier the treatment is sought, the lesser the damage done.
