Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth, caused by plaque buildup and leading to inflammation, bleeding gums, and, if untreated, tooth loss. Although anyone can develop a gum infection due to inadequate oral hygiene, tobacco use, stress, bruxism (tooth clenching/grinding), some medications, poor nutrition, and pregnancy can increase the risk of periodontitis.
