Understanding Gum Disease
Gingivitis
The earliest stage of gum disease, characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums, often caused by plaque buildup.
Periodontitis
A more advanced stage where gum inflammation leads to the loss of bone and tissue around the teeth, potentially causing tooth mobility and loss.
Advanced Periodontitis
The most severe stage, which can lead to significant damage to the gums, bones, and cause tooth loss.
