Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is one of the most common oral health issues—but it’s also one of the most preventable. At Pain Free Dentist Sydney, we help patients restore and maintain healthy gums with gentle, advanced treatments designed for comfort and long-term results.
What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. It often begins as gingivitis, a mild stage causing gum redness, swelling, and bleeding. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, which may damage the jawbone and even lead to tooth loss.
Causes of Gum Disease
Common causes and risk factors include:
Poor oral hygiene (plaque and tartar buildup)
Smoking or tobacco use
Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause)
Diabetes and other health conditions
Certain medications (that reduce saliva flow)
Genetics
Symptoms to Watch Out For
Many people don’t realize they have gum disease until it’s advanced. Early warning signs include:
Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing
Swollen, red, or tender gums
Persistent bad breath
Gum recession (teeth looking longer)
Loose or shifting teeth
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to see a dentist.
