About Gingivitis
Gingivitis is actually the early stage of periodontal gum disease that can be reversed and even cured when addressed properly and early enough. Patients may notice swollen, tender or even bleeding gums. Proper at-home dental care and professional checkups can reverse the condition however it must be caught and addressed early.
About Periodontitis
As periodontal disease advances, it is commonly known as periodontitis. Once it has reached advanced stages, gum disease actually begins to cause irreversible damage to the gums and other supporting structures of the mouth. Patients typically begin to experience more severe complications such as gum infections, tooth shifting and even tooth loss in the stages.

- Systemic diseases such as diabetes.
