Stages of Gum Disease

Gingivitis

This is the first stage of gum disease known as gingivitis. Inflammation, swelling, and bleeding are all symptoms of gingivitis, which is caused by bacteria, toxins, enzymes, and other plaque byproducts irritating the gums. In most cases, gingivitis may be reversed with a combination of good dental care and a few visits to the dentist. Your gums will be able to recover if you succeed in this goal.

Periodontitis

When the tooth's bone tissue begins to degenerate, it is said to have moderate gum disease. A condition known as periodontitis happens when plaque leftovers destroy the tissues that support your teeth in the bone. As a result, the gums degrade and begin to separate from the teeth, allowing more plaque to accumulate below the gum line, leading to gum disease. As a result, the teeth' roots become more vulnerable to decay. In addition, temperature and tactile sensitivity tend to increase in patients.

Advanced Periodontitis

Gum and bone tissue have been lost to advanced periodontitis, and the teeth are losing more and more support as the periodontal ligament and bone are deteriorating. Tooth extraction is the only option when your dentist can't conserve the tooth. In the absence of treatment, advanced periodontitis may have a devastating effect on other aspects of health.
