Gums have an important role to play in your mouth. They surround and cushion your teeth and help support them in biting and chewing. It’s only when your gums become inflamed and pull away from the teeth, or start to recede, that you will realise just how important they are. Without good gums, your teeth can start to wobble around.

Gum disease starts when plaque builds up under and along the gum line. Plaque is a sticky film-like substance that’s filled with bacteria. It can cause infections that hurt the gum and bone, leading to gum disease and tooth decay. Plaque also can cause gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease. Gingivitis causes your gums to become inflamed, tender, red, swollen, prone to bleeding. At this stage gum disease is reversible

In an advanced case of the disease,  periodontitis occur. Left untreated, it can ruin the gums, bones, and tissues connected to your teeth.
