The Stages of Periodontal Disease (Gum Disease):

Periodontal disease is more commonly known as gum disease.
The word periodontal means "around the tooth." Periodontal
disease is a series of chronic bacterial infections that
damage the tissues and supporting bones surrounding the
teeth. It could be isolated to just one tooth or affect
several teeth. There are several stages of periodontal
disease and the earlier it is detected the easier that it
is to treat.

Symptoms

Healthy gums are pink in color, fit snugly around teeth, do
not bleed easily, and are firm. Some symptoms of
periodontal disease are red swollen gums that bleed easily,
persistent bad breath, receding gum lines, changes in how
teeth fit together, and tooth sensitivity. If this disease
is left untreated it can result in tooth loss. The main
cause of periodontal disease is improper care and cleaning
of teeth. The use of tobacco products, hereditary
factors, excessive stress, and poor nutrition are other
leading causes.

Periodontal Disease Stages

The first stage of periodontal disease is called
gingivitis. Gingivitis only affects the gum surrounding
the teeth. It begins when bacteria from plaque builds-up.
The bacteria will cause the gums to redden, become swollen,
and to bleed easily. Bad breath or a bad taste may or may
not be present. Generally there is no discomfort and
therefore gingivitis tends to go untreated. However, if
treated quickly it can be reversible with professional care
and proper oral hygiene.

The second stage is called aggressive periodontitis or
pyorrhea. It is caused from accumulation of bacteria
toxins below the gum line that leads to attachment and bone
loss around teeth. Chronic bad breath and bad taste are
also associated with this stage of the disease.

The third stage of periodontal disease is chronic
periodontitis. It is associated with rapid and progressive
bone and attachment loss. Chronic periodontitis is
recognized by noticeable gum recession and/or the formation
of deep pockets along the gum.

People with systematic diseases such as diabetes, leukemia,
or HIV more commonly get necrotizing periodontal disease.
This is the fourth stage of the disease. It is associated
with necrosis (dead cells and tissue) of the gum,
ligaments, and bone. Lesions or pus pockets are common
with this stage.

Treatment

Several treatment options non-surgical and surgical are
available depending on the severity of the disease.
Non-surgical procedures can be performed if the gums and
teeth are healthy or can be repaired. Otherwise four main
surgical procedures may include pocket reduction
procedures, regenerative procedures, crown lengthening, or
soft tissue grafts.
