Understanding Gum Disease: Gingivitis & Periodontitis

Gum (periodontal) disease is a progressive bacterial infection affecting the gums and supporting jawbone that hold your teeth in place. It begins silently as Gingivitis (swollen, bleeding gums) and, if left untreated, advances to Periodontitis — causing bone loss, receding gums, and eventual tooth loss.

At Dental Planet, periodontics is led by Dr. Avinash BS - Periodontist, Implantologist and Aesthetic Dentist, dedicated to preserving your natural teeth and preventing gum recession.

Bleeding Gums During Brushing

The primary early warning sign of bacterial inflammation.

Persistent Bad Breath (Halitosis)

Caused by toxin-producing anaerobic bacteria under the gumline.

📉

Receding Gums & Sensitivity

Teeth appear longer as gums pull back, exposing sensitive tooth roots.

Periodontal Medicine

Connecting Oral Health to Your Entire Body

🩸 PERIODONTAL MEDICINE & SYSTEMIC LINK

How Gum Health Affects Your Whole Body

Gum disease is not confined to your mouth! Periodontal Medicine studies the direct biological link between chronic oral inflammation and major systemic health conditions throughout your body.

When gums are inflamed, harmful bacteria and inflammatory cytokines enter your bloodstream, aggravating pre-existing medical conditions:

🤰

Pregnancy & Low Birth Weight

Hormonal shifts increase "Pregnancy Gingivitis". Severe periodontitis is linked to premature delivery and low birth weight infants.

🩸

Diabetes Mellitus

Periodontitis is a recognized 6th complication of diabetes. Treating gum infection significantly helps stabilize blood sugar (HbA1c) levels.

❤️

Cardiovascular & Heart Disease

Oral bacteria entering arterial blood flow contribute to plaque buildup, arterial clogging, and elevated stroke risks.

🫁

Respiratory Infections

Inhaling periodontal bacteria into lungs can aggravate pneumonia, COPD, and upper respiratory tract complications.

Periodontal Plastic Surgeries

Enhancing smile harmony, correcting gum recession, and reshaping uneven gumlines.
