Periodontal disease (gum disease) is one of the most common dental problems affecting adults. It begins with gingivitis (gum inflammation) and can progress to periodontitis, a serious infection that damages gums, bone, and eventually leads to tooth loss if left untreated. At Pain Free Dentist Sydney, we provide gentle and effective treatment to restore gum health and protect your smile.
What Causes Periodontal Disease?
Poor oral hygiene leading to plaque and tartar buildup
Smoking or tobacco use
Medical conditions like diabetes
Hormonal changes
Genetics and family history
Signs and Symptoms
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
Persistent bad breath
Receding gums or “longer” teeth appearance
Loose or shifting teeth
Pain or discomfort when chewing
Why Treatment is Important
Untreated gum disease doesn’t just affect your mouth – research links it to heart disease, diabetes, respiratory illness, and pregnancy complications. Treating periodontal disease early prevents tooth loss and supports overall health.
