More than half the population of the U.S is affected by periodontal disease, as provided by the CDC. Poorly treated gum disease can cause permanent damage to your gum structure and connective tissues.
Symptoms and Stages of Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease progresses in three stages:
Gingivitis (early gum disease)
Periodontitis
Advanced Periodontitis
It is important to seek medical intervention at the first stage to prevent gum disease from progressing and causing extensive damage. If left untreated, periodontal disease can cause irreversible damage as bacteria grows and multiplies. Treating periodontal disease at the gingivitis stage can prevent tooth loss and restore the health of the gums.
There are three major stages of gum disease: early gum disease (gingivitis), periodontitis, and advanced periodontitis. Without intervention after the first stage, gum disease is allowed to progress and will cause irreversible damage as the bacteria breeds and grows. If treated during the gingivitis stage, gum disease can be reversed.
Patients may not experience any signs during the initial stages of gum disease, but some common symptoms include:
