What are gingivitis and periodontitis?
Gingivitis is an early stage of periodontal disease. Gums may be red, swollen and bleed easily. At this stage, the disease is reversible. If you are experiencing symptoms, call our office and schedule an appointment to evaluate the problem. Periodontitis, a more severe stage of the periodontal disease, may result from cases of gingivitis that are left untreated. With this condition, supporting structures of the teeth may be damaged. Tooth loss is common and complicated measures must be taken to protect remaining teeth.
