Gum disease starts as gingivitis—red, swollen gums that may bleed when you brush. This early stage is easy to manage with professional care and good oral hygiene. Left untreated, it can progress to periodontal disease, where infection spreads below the gumline, damaging the jawbone and threatening your teeth. Around 1 in 5 Australians are affected by this condition, which is also linked to serious health issues like diabetes and heart disease.
