Dental health is highly important for a healthy lifestyle and a confident smile. Gum disease is a serious oral health condition that affects millions of people. It may also lead to tooth loss and systemic health issues.   

What is a Gum disease?

Some bacterial infections cause inflammation of the gums – this condition is called gingivitis (gum disease). If this is left untreated, it will result in a severe condition of periodontitis.

Gum infections are often caused due to the colonization of bacteria in the space between gums and teeth. This happens when one’s oral hygiene is neglected for a long period.
