STAGES OF GINGIVITIS AND
PERIODONTAL DISEASE

Did you know?
Gum disease is a common dental

problem that may result in tooth
loss. Gingivitis and Periodontitis
are the most common types of
adult gum disease.

HEALTHY GUMS
dr shabeel pn 4
Healthy teeth and gums are
maintained by daily plaque
removal from all surfaces of
the tooth (through tooth
brushing and interdental
cleaning)
dr shabeel pn 5
Healthy gums are characterized
by the following features:
• pink or coral pink color, • shape that follows the
(normal variations in contour of the teeth and
color depend on race forms a scalloped edge
and complexion) • no areas of redness,
• firm, resilient tissues swelling or
• 'orange-peel' texture inflammation
(known as stippling) • no bleeding during
daily plaque removal
• no discomfort

WHAT IS GINGIVITIS ?
dr shabeel pn 8
• Gingivitis is inflammation of the gum tissue.
• The gums are irritated and swollen due to a plaque

or calculus (tartar) buildup along the gum line.
• The gums may be sore, bleed easily and appear

puffy, soft and swollen.
dr shabeel pn 9
• No bone structure is lost around the teeth at this
stage of gum disease.
• Blood on the toothbrush or dental floss is one of the
earliest and most common signs of gingivitis.
• Your gums should never bleed while brushing or
flossing.
• The good news about gingivitis is that it is

preventable and reversible through good brushing
and flossing techniques (or other interdental tooth
cleansing).
• On the other hand, if oral hygiene habits are poor,

gingivitis may progress to periodontitis.
Gingivitis: Notice the gums are
red and swollen

WHAT IS PERIODONTAL
DISEASE?
• Periodontal disease is destruction of
bone and the structures supporting the
teeth. Unfortunately periodontitis is
irreversible, but you can stop its
progression through good oral hygiene
and visiting your dental professional.

Eight Warning Signs of
Periodontal Disease:
• gums that bleed when • permanent teeth that
you brush or floss your are loose or separating
teeth • any changes in the way
• gums that are red, your teeth fit together
swollen or tender when you bite
• gums that have pulled • any changes in the fit of
away from teeth your partial denture
• infection including • bad breath
purulence (pus) between • itchy sensation
the teeth and gums when
the gums are pressed

EARLY AND MODERATE
PERIODONTITIS:
dr shabeel pn 14
EARLY AND MODERATE
PERIODONTITIS:
• Periodontitis occurs when the
inflammation of the gums progresses
into the deeper underlying structures
and bone.
• In the most common form of
periodontitis, plaque (and sometimes
calculus) is found below the gum line.
• The gums may feel irritated, appear
bright red, and bleed easily.
dr shabeel pn 15
EARLY AND MODERATE
PERIODONTITIS:
• The ligaments holding the tooth in its
socket break down and the gums pull
away from the teeth, resulting in a
periodontal pocket or space between
the tooth and gum.
• The periodontal pocket deepens and
fills with more bacteria. Supportive
ligaments and bone start to show
damage.

ADVANCED PERIODONTITIS:
dr shabeel pn 19
ADVANCED PERIODONTITIS:
• When periodontitis progresses to the
advanced stage, the gums severely
recede (pull away from the tooth );
pockets deepen and may be filled with
pus.
dr shabeel pn 20
Advanced Periodontitis
• There may be swelling around the root
and you may experience sensitivity to
hot or cold or feel pain when brushing
your teeth. This is due to the severely
receding gums exposing the root
surface.
dr shabeel pn 21
Advanced Periodontitis
• As bone loss increases, your teeth may
lose so much support that they need to
be removed to preserve the overall
health of your mouth.
