What Gum Disease Means

Gum disease describes conditions that affect the gums and the supporting structures around the teeth. Clinicians use different terms to distinguish milder gum inflammation from conditions that involve supporting tissues.

Knowing the difference helps you and the clinician decide which checks and care are most appropriate for your situation.

Gingivitis: may involve bleeding, redness or swelling of the gums
Periodontitis: can involve gum pockets, recession, bone loss or loose teeth
Gum disease can affect gums and the tissues that support the teeth
Early assessment clarifies what any findings mean for treatment options

Common Signs That Prompt Assessment
