Through early detection and effective treatment, we help you maintain healthy gums and a confident smile.

Understanding the Stages of Gum Disease

From gingivitis to advanced periodontitis, know the progression of gum disease.

Gingivitis

The earliest stage of gum disease, gingivitis is characterized by inflammation of the gums. Common symptoms include redness, swelling, and bleeding during brushing or flossing. Gingivitis is often caused by plaque buildup and is reversible.

Periodontitis

If gingivitis is left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis. In this stage, the infection spreads below the gum line, causing the gums to pull away from the teeth and form pockets. These pockets become infected, and the bone and connective tissue.

Advanced Periodontitis

In the advanced stage of gum disease, the connective tissue and bone supporting the teeth are destroyed. This can lead to tooth loss and may impact your overall health. Advanced periodontitis requires intensive treatment.

Recognize the Signs of Gum Disease

Early detection is key to effective treatment and maintaining healthy gums.

Gum disease often starts silently, but recognizing its early symptoms can help prevent serious complications. Common signs of gum disease include:

Red, Swollen Gums: Healthy gums are pink and firm. Red, swollen, or tender gums are early signs of inflammation.
Bleeding Gums: Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing indicate potential gum disease.
Bad Breath: Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth can be a symptom of gum disease.
Receding Gums: Gums that are pulling away from your teeth, making your teeth appear longer, are a sign of gum disease.
Loose Teeth: As gum disease progresses, it can cause your teeth to become loose or shift in your mouth.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to schedule an appointment with Restore Dental for a thorough evaluation and timely treatment.
