Stages of Gum Disease
Catching the signs early makes treatment simpler — and keeps damage reversible.
Healthy Gums
Firm, pale pink tissue fitting snugly around teeth, with no bleeding or discomfort.
Gingivitis
Red, swollen gums that bleed easily. Damage at this stage is still reversible with professional care.
Early Periodontitis
Inflammation extends below the gum line with pocket formation and early bone loss.
Advanced Periodontitis
Significant damage to supporting structures, with gum recession, tooth shifting, and risk of tooth loss.
Beyond Your Smile
Heart Disease
Bacteria from infected gums can enter the bloodstream, contributing to cardiovascular issues.
Diabetes
Gum disease can make blood sugar harder to manage, and poorly controlled diabetes can worsen gum disease.
Pregnancy Complications
Untreated periodontal disease has been linked to increased risk of premature birth.
