What Gum Disease Means: Gingivitis Versus Periodontitis

What is the difference between a mild gum problem and more advanced disease? Gingivitis tends to involve signs on the gum surface such as bleeding, redness or swelling, while periodontitis can involve deeper changes including gum pockets, gum recession, bone loss or loose teeth.

Why does the distinction matter? Identifying which pattern is present helps a dentist or hygienist recommend the most appropriate care and monitoring tailored to the individual.

Early assessment provides the information needed to explain likely aims of treatment, possible care options and what ongoing checks might be required.

Do you have a history of gum disease or previous treatment? Past issues are relevant because they inform the clinical review and ongoing recommendations from a dentist or hygienist.
