Stages of Gum Diseases:

There are 2 main stages in gum diseases, these include
Gingivitis:
Gum inflammation is a characteristic of the early stages of gum disease. Gum bleeding, swelling, and redness are possible symptoms, especially when brushing or flossing. If you follow good oral hygiene and receive professional dental care, you can reverse gingivitis.
Treatment:
• Deep scaling and root planning.
• Deep scaling and oral hygiene maintenance.
Periodontitis:
Gingivitis can develop into periodontitis if treatment is not received. The infection spreads below the gum line at this point, pulling the gums away from the teeth and creating pockets that could get infected. Periodontitis can cause tooth loss and bone loss over time.
Treatment:
• Deep scaling and root planning
• Flap surgery
• Laser flap surgery
• Gingivectomy
• Gingivoplasty
Risk factors:
• Poor oral hygiene
• Smoking
• Hormonal changes (during pregnancy or menopause)
• Certain medication
• Genetics
• Systemic diseases like diabetes
