Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the tissues surrounding teeth. It typically begins with the accumulation of plaque, a bacterial film on teeth, leading to gingivitis characterized by red, swollen gums and bleeding. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, causing damage to the supporting structures of teeth and potentially leading to tooth loss.
