Healthy Gums
Periodontal Disease has often been labelled the “silent disease” due to the fact that most people are unaware they have it. Many patients only become aware of their symptoms once the disease is advanced. By recognising the early signs of gum disease, you can avoid further deterioration of the gums and bone and prevent tooth loss.

Gingivitis
Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease. It is a reversible inflammation of the gums mainly caused by plaque irritation. Symptoms of gingivitis include:

  • Change in gum colour from pale pink to deep redness
  • Round swollen gum margin instead of thin 'knife-edge'
  • Bleeding gums
  • Bad breath

If left untreated, gingivitis can progress into periodontitis.

Periodontitis
Periodontitis is an advanced stage of gum disease affecting the supporting structure of the tooth. Progress of untreated gingivitis can result in destruction of periodontal ligaments that attach the tooth to the gum. This leads to development of periodontal or gingival pockets that plaque and tartar further accumulate. If still left untreated, the bone that holds the tooth in place will also be gradually destroyed resulting in tooth loss.

Latest research also revealed close relation between active periodontitis and cardio-vascular (heart and blood vessel) diseases.
