Do your gums bleed easily?
Bleeding gums can be an early warning of gum disease. Early treatment prevents progression and protects your long-term oral health.
Early Signs of Gum Disease
What to Look For
Early symptoms include bleeding gums when brushing, persistent bad breath, gum tenderness, and swelling. These warning signs should never be ignored, as early detection and treatment are essential to stop gum disease from progressing and preserve healthy teeth and gums.
What Causes Gum Disease and Who Is at Risk?
Causes and Risk Factors
Gum disease most often develops due to bacterial plaque irritating the gums, yet smoking, high stress, diabetes, hormonal changes, and even genetic predisposition significantly heighten vulnerability. Recognising and addressing these causes early empowers you to take proactive steps that safeguard gum health and reduce long‑term complications.
-
Plaque and tartar buildup on teeth
-
Hormonal changes and poor nutrition
-
Smoking, stress, and other lifestyle factors
-
Family history or genetic predisposition to gum disease
-
Systemic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease
Identifying your personal risk factors allows for tailored treatment plans that reduce progression and protect gum health.
Stages of Periodontal Disease
From Mild to Severe
Gum disease begins as gingivitis, with mild inflammation and bleeding, and can progress to periodontitis, where gum recession, pocketing, and bone loss occur. Recognising the stages early helps prevent tooth loss and complex treatments later.
-
Gingivitis – early gum inflammation with bleeding
-
Early periodontitis – pocket formation and mild recession
-
Moderate periodontitis – progressive bone loss and gum shrinkage
-
Advanced periodontitis – severe mobility and risk of tooth loss
Regular dental check-ups and hygiene appointments are vital, as gum disease can progress silently without pain until significant damage has already occurred.
