How Is Periodontal Disease related to Gum Disease?
Copyright (c) 2006 SSLI Health Group

Have you ever wanted to know the difference between
periodontal disease and gum disease? Well, they are one in
the same. The word periodontal means "around the tooth."
Gum (periodontal) disease is a series of chronic bacterial
infections that destroy the tissues and supporting bones
surrounding your teeth. It may be isolated to just one
tooth or affect several teeth at a time.

Healthy Gums vs. Unhealthy You can do an at home evaluation
if you know what to look signs to look for. Healthy gums
will be pink or coral in color, firm, fit snugly around
your teeth, and will not bleed easily. Some signs that you
have unhealthy of gums may include red swollen gums that
bleed easily, persistent bad breath, receding gum lines,
changes in how your teeth fit together, and you may
experience tooth sensitivity.

Symptoms and Stages
I am sure you have heard the term gingivitis, but did you
know it is the beginning stage of gum (periodontal)
disease? Gingivitis only affects the gum surrounding your
teeth. It begins when bacteria toxins from plaque irritate
the gums causing them to become red, swollen, and to bleed
easily. Have you noticed any blood on your toothbrush or
dental floss? Dental bleeding is considered abnormal and
is an indication of poor oral health. Generally there is
no discomfort associated with gingivitis and therefore it
tends to go unnoticed or untreated. Unless you have
suffered from it or know someone who has, you probably
aren't familiar with aggressive periodontitis. Aggressive
periodontitis is more commonly known as pyorrhea. This is
the second stage of gum (periodontal) disease caused from
the accumulation of bacteria toxins below your gum line.
The inner layer of your gum tissues and bone begin to
recede and po

v-shaped crevices called periodontal pockets. The depth of
the pocket formation usually determines the severity of the
disease. If you should notice any of the following
symptoms you should see your dental care provider: chronic
bad breath or (halitosis), gum tenderness, and bad taste
because they are associated with this stage of the gum
(periodontal) disease.

The third stage of gum (periodontal) disease is called
chronic periodontitis. It is mainly associated with rapid
and progressive bone and attachment loss. You can
recognize chronic periodontitis by noticeable gum recession
and/or the formation of deep pockets along your gums. As
the infection spreads you may notice pus within the
pockets. This stage of gum (periodontal) disease is
painful and there will not be any tissue or bone remaining
to anchor your teeth into their sockets. Your teeth will
continue become progressively looser and tooth loss will be
inevitable.

Prevention and Treatment
You need to see a professional dental care provider if you
suspect any of the above symptoms. Early detection of gum
disease can be reversed, but if untreated you are possibly
going to experience irreversible tooth loss. Several
non-surgical and surgical dental procedures are available
that can reverse or restore your dental health. The
treatment plan you dentist provides will depend on what
stage and the severity of the disease you have. You can
make a considerable difference in preventing gum
(periodontal) disease with adequate oral care such as
brushing and flossing your teeth daily.
