I am 25 years young and my mouth is showing signs of gum disease. aren't i too young?

No: See a dentist.Some really bad diseases show up as gum disease.And you are "grinding"and wearing down your teeth.Dentist asap!

No: Gum disease can start at anytime. Usually we see it beginning in early adulthood.You need to see your dentist for proper diagnosis.

No: Depending on many factors, genetics, home care, diet, professional dental care, gum disease can occur at any age. You need to address all of above. Doing so now will save you long term!

Age not a factor: It can happen at any age. Seek care asap. The earlier it is treated the less complicated, less time it takes and less expensive.

No: No, periodontal disease is not an age specific disease. It's based on bacteria and inefficient or poor oral hygiene. I recommend you see your dentist as soon as you can to stop further progression. The quicker you can stop this, the less damage that you may incur.

See your dentist: Periodontal diseases can occur at any age, but most cases are in adults over age 30. See your dentist, early diagnosis is critical for successful treatment.

You are not too: young and need to see your dentist asap.

No: As an Orthodontist, treating a primarily tween/teen population, I see Periodontal Disease all to often. Although there may be genetic/systemic predisposing factors, mostly what I see as a cause is compromised oral hygiene coupled with lack of routine professional care. See your Dentist before your problem becomes irreversible. Consultation with a Periodontist may be in order.
