In its earliest stage (gingivitis), gum disease can often be reversed with professional cleanings and good home care. However, once it progresses to periodontitis, it cannot be fully reversed — but it can be managed and controlled with treatment.
Gum health is essential because your gums support your teeth and help protect your body from harmful bacteria. Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss and is linked to health concerns like heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and complications during pregnancy.
