Gum Disease: Diagnosis and Treatment

The site explains that gingivitis is an infection of the gums caused by the bacteria in plaque. The gums may become red, swollen, or bleed during brushing. Gingivitis is curable with dental treatment and proper brushing and flossing; if left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis with bone loss and, ultimately, tooth loss.

Periodontitis is described as an advanced infection of the gums that causes bone loss around the teeth and the formation of periodontal pockets. Without treatment, the disease painlessly worsens gum and bone loss until the teeth are lost. Early-stage disease is often treated with root planing—also called a deep cleaning—proper oral hygiene, and regular follow-up cleanings. Advanced periodontitis may require surgical treatment to remove diseased tissue and thoroughly clean the tooth surface. In certain cases, bone grafts may be needed to replace some of the lost bone.
