Understanding Gum Disease: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common dental condition that affects the health of your gums and supporting structures of your teeth. But what exactly is gum disease? Is it hereditary? In this video, we will take you on a deep dive into the world of gum disease, exploring its causes, symptoms, stages, and whether your genetics have a role to play in its development.
🔍 What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is an inflammatory condition that affects the gums and bones surrounding your teeth. It starts as gingivitis (early stage), characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis (advanced stage), leading to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.
🦠 Causes of Gum Disease:
Poor oral hygiene habits
Plaque and tartar buildup
Smoking and tobacco use
Hormonal changes in pregnancy
Chronic diseases (diabetes, heart disease)
Genetic predisposition
❓ Is Gum Disease Hereditary?
One of the most common questions we encounter is whether gum disease is hereditary. While gum disease itself is not directly inherited, your genetic makeup can influence your susceptibility to gum disease. If you have a family history of gum problems, you may be at a higher risk, making preventive care even more critical.
✅ Symptoms of Gum Disease:
Red, swollen, or tender gums
Bleeding while brushing or flossing
Persistent bad breath (halitosis)
Receding gums (gum recession)
Loose or shifting teeth
Formation of deep gum pockets
🌟 How to Prevent Gum Disease:
Brush your teeth twice a day using a fluoride toothpaste
Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth
Use an antibacterial mouthwash for extra protection
Maintain a balanced diet for healthy gums
Avoid smoking and tobacco products
Schedule regular dental checkups and cleanings
