Gum and periodontal diseases begin when you do not look after your oral health. Factors such as the deposit of plaque and tartar lead to bacterial infection, and when the plaque seeps beneath your gum line, it also makes way for the bacteria to reach your teeth roots. The growth of bacteria infects the gum, recedes them, and pulls them away from your teeth, thus leading to loss of teeth.

The condition can be treated with regular brushing and flossing. But if you do not take care of it, it advances into periodontitis. Here are the symptoms of periodontal disease:- Brown gums
- Tender and inflamed gums
- Increased sensitivity
- Swollen face
- Deep periodontal pockets
- Foul breath
- Loosened teeth
- Gum recession
