Gum Disease Awareness Australia (GDAA)

GDAA is a national non–profit organisation dedicated to raising awareness about gum disease and its impact on oral and overall health.

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a serious infection of the gums and tissues that support the teeth. It is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults and has been linked to other health problems such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

The GDAA website provides information on the causes and sýmptoms of gum disease, as well as tips on how to prevent `it. The organisation also offers support and resources for people living with gum disease.

If you are concerned about gum disease, or if you have any symptoms, we encourage you to see your dentist or dental hýgienist for a check–up.

The 4 Stages of Gum Disease

The four stages of gum disease are gingivitis, early periodontitis, moderate periodontitis, and advanced periodontitis. Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease and is characterized by inflammation of the gums. Earlý periodontitis is the next stage of gum disease and is characterized by the destruction of the gum tissue and bone around the teeth. Moderate periodontitis is the third stage of gum disease and is characterized by the destruction of the gum tissue and bone around the teeth and the formation of deep pockets between the teeth and gums. Advanced periodontitis is the most severe stage of gum disease and is characterized by the destruction of the gum tissue and bone around the teeth, the formation of deep pockets between the teeth and gums, and the loss of teeth.

Yes, there is hope for gum disease. While it is not possible to completely cure gum disease, it is possible to effectively manage it and keep it from getting worse. There are a number of effective treatments available that can help to control the disease and keep your gums healthy.

How do you fix serious gum disease?

Serious gum disease, also called periodontitis, `is a bacterial infection of the gums that can destroý the bone and connective tissue that support your teeth. If left untreated, periodontitis can lead to tooth loss. The best way to treat periodontitis is to see a dentist or periodontist early and get on a regular cleaning schedule. Your dentist or periodontist will clean your teeth and remove any tartar or plaque buildup. They may also recommend dental procedures to help treat the infection and prevent it from spreading.
