Types of gum disease

Gingivitis

This disease causes the gums to become inflamed. Symptoms are mainly irritated, receding sometimes bleeding gums. With good oral hygiene such as regular brushing and flossing, gingivitis can be prevented. If you have already been diagnosed, professional dental cleaning and oral cleansing are treatment options.

Periodontitis

Periodontitis is very common and preventable. However, it is one of those diseases that can spread and cause damage to the jawbone if left untreated. It results in inflammation in not only the gums but the supporting structures of your teeth.

Aggressive periodontitis

Known as LAP,  this is a rare kind of inflammatory gum disease. It progresses fast and causes severe attachment and bone loss specifically on the first molars and incisors. In short, it results in early tooth loss.

Chronic periodontitis

Ongoing gum inflammation can cause chronic periodontitis. It will eventually create large pockets between your gums that will fill up with the plaque that is difficult to clean at home.
