Bad breath, and swollen, sore, or bleeding gums are signs of gingivitis, an early stage of gum disease. Caused by a build-up of plaque on the teeth, this common condition, if left untreated, can develop into periodontal disease and result in abscesses, receding gums and even tooth loss. Find out more about what causes gum disease, how to treat it once it starts, and how to prevent it from worsening. Your best defence against halitosis and gum disease includes good oral hygiene, brushing and flossing daily and regular visits to the dentist.
