Symptoms of Gum Disease
September 29, 2009

Most people are unaware that they have gum disease....

 

Remember that gingivitis and periodontitis are both diseases, both affecting the gum tissue.  Only, periodontitis goes beyond affecting the gum tissue and begins affecting the surrounding support structure of the involved teeth, the bone.  Most people are unaware that they are in a disease state until gingivitis progresses into periodontitis....

 

Check this site out from the American Academy of Periodontitis.....it is very informative!
