Gum infections, also known as periodontal disease, affect the tissues that support the teeth and are among the most common oral health conditions worldwide. Nearly half of adults over the age of 30 in the United States have some form of gingivitis, with the prevalence rising to more than 70% in older adults. If left untreated, gum infections can progress from mild gingivitis to more advanced periodontitis, increasing the risk of tooth loss and contributing to wider health concerns.
The video explains that gum infections usually start with plaque build-up. When plaque isn’t removed by regular brushing and flossing, it can harden into tartar, creating an environment where harmful bacteria thrive. Over time, this bacterial activity can cause inflammation, bleeding gums and tissue damage.
“Many people don’t realize how quickly gum irritation can escalate if early signs are ignored,” says a Valleant Health spokesperson. “The aim of this guide is to help people recognize symptoms earlier and understand that simple everyday habits, combined with early dental care, can make a real difference.”
Viewers are guided through the common symptoms of gum infections, including redness, swelling, bleeding when brushing, persistent bad breath and receding gums. The video also describes how dentists assess gum health, from visual exams and pocket measurements to x-rays that reveal underlying bone loss.
Alongside professional treatment options such as deep cleaning, the guide discusses supportive home care approaches. These include consistent brushing and flossing, saltwater rinses to soothe irritated gums, and the use of antibacterial mouthwashes to control oral bacteria. Valleant Health emphasizes that these steps are supportive measures and are not a substitute for professional dental care when infection is present.
Early detection is a central theme of the video, noting that detecting gum disease in its early stages can reduce the need for invasive procedures, reduce treatment costs and improve the chances of preserving natural teeth and gum structure.
“People often underestimate gum health because symptoms can seem minor at first,” added the spokesperson. “Education plays a key role in prevention and we want people to feel empowered to take action before problems become more serious.”
