Are You at Risk for Periodontal Disease?

Poor oral hygiene: Brushing and flossing regularly is essential for preventing plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to gum disease.
Smoking: Smoking weakens the immune system and can make it more difficult for your body to fight off gum infections.
Diabetes: People with diabetes are more likely to develop gum disease.
Certain medications: Some medications, such as corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, can increase your risk of gum disease.
Genetics: Some people may be genetically predisposed to periodontal disease.
