Gingivitis : Gingivitis is the early stage
of gum disease and is the mildest form of periodontal (gum) disease
process. It can be treated and reversed if diagnosed early. Gingivitis
is inflammation of the gum tissue. The gums are irritated, red and
swollen due to a plaque or calculus
(tartar) buildup along the gumline. The gums may be sore,
bleed easily and appear puffy, soft and swollen. No bone structure
is lost around the teeth at this stage of gum disease. Blood on the
toothbrush or dental floss is one of the earliest and most common
signs of gingivitis. Your gums should never bleed while brushing or
flossing. The good news about gingivitis is that it is preventable
and reversible through good brushing and flossing techniques (or other
interdental tooth cleansing). Gingivitis is often caused by inadequate
oral hygiene, which leads to plaque buildup. On the other hand,
if oral hygiene habits continue to be poor, gingivitis may progress
to periodontitis.
MODERATE PERIODONTITIS Early/Moderate Periodontitis occurs when
the inflammation of the gums progresses into the deeper underlying
structures and bone. In the most common form of periodontitis, plaque
(and sometimes calculus) is found below the gumline. The gums may
feel irritated, appear bright red, and bleed easily. The ligaments
holding the tooth in its socket break down and the gums pull away
from the teeth, resulting in a periodontal pocket or space between
the tooth and gum. The periodontal pocket deepens and fills with more
bacteria. Supportive ligaments and bone start to show damage. Calculus
and plaque do not have to be evident to the naked eye for periodontal
disease to be present. You need regular examinations performed by
your oral health professional to assess your periodontal health and
determine if periodontal disease is active in your mouth.
Advanced Periodontitis
SEVERE PERIODONTITIS (Lower teeth & Upper teeth)
Advanced Periodonitiis or pyorrhoea is the serious and advanced stage
of gum disease that includes bone loss and is irreversible. When periodontitis
progresses to the advanced stage, the gums severely recede (pull away
from the tooth); pockets deepen and may be filled with pus. There
may be swelling around the root and you may experience sensitivity
to hot or cold or feel pain
when brushing your teeth. This is due to the severely receding gums
exposing the root surface. As bone loss increases, your teeth may
lose so much support that they may fall out or need to be removed
to preserve the overall health of your mouth.
Healthy Teeth means Healthy Gums: Gum diseases
are the number one cause of tooth loss. The disease attacks the gums
as well as the bone, which support your teeth. Your teeth become loose
and may eventually fall out, if not taken care of.
Healthy Gums: Healthy
Gums are pink, firm and don't bleed. Tiny fibers hold teeth
tightly to the gums and underlying bone. The gums fit snugly
around the teeth, so plaque can be removed from below the
gumline only by flossing and professional cleanings.
Gingivitis: This
is the earliest stage of gum disease. plaque (and sometimes
calculus) is found below the gumline. The gums may feel irritated,
appear bright red, and bleed easily.
Mild Periodontitis: The
gums begin to separate from the teeth, forming pockets that
fill with plaque. The periodontal pocket deepens and fills
with more bacteria. Supportive ligaments and bone start to
show damage.
Moderate Periodontitis:
Deeper pockets form, as more bone and tissue are
lost. G ums severely recede (pull away from the tooth); pockets
deepen and may be filled with pus.
Severe Periodontitis:
Teeth may become loose because a large amount of
bone and tissue have been lost. As bone loss increases, your
teeth may lose so much support that they may fall out or need
to be removed.
Signs and Symptoms: Several symptoms of
gum disease are:
