Periodontal DiseasePeriodontal disease is a process in which bacteria and plaque induce an inflammatory process of the gums and supporting tissue of the tooth. The signs we notice most often are bad breath and reddened gums. Untreated gingivitis will progress to periodontitis - the inflammatory responses that involve the supporting bone and tooth root. The end result of periodontitis is loss of the teeth due to loss of supporting bone. Inflamed gums also provide bacteria with easy access to the blood stream where they can travel to infect major organs such as the heart and kidneys. Stage 0: Healthy Teeth & Gums
Stage 1: Gingivitis
Stage 2: Advanced Gingivitis
Stage 3: Periodontitis
Stage 4: Advanced Periodontitis
