What is periodontal disease? Periodontal disease (periodontitis) is a disease of the bone and other structures which support the teeth. Receding gums, puffy or red gums, bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, loose teeth and widening spaces in between teeth are some of the warning signs of periodontal disease. Only your dental professional can tell if you have it for sure. You should see you dentist for regular checkups and examinations. The earlier it's detected, the less damage periodontal disease can do.

What is gingivitis? Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums that can often be caused by bacteria in plaque. The following may be symptoms of gingivitis*: red gums, swollen gums, or bleeding gums. It's important to note that it is not normal for your gums to bleed after brushing and flossing. This can be an early sign of gingivitis. Gingivitis can be painless, but if left untreated it can sometimes progress into periodontal disease.

Anything is possible...

What is tartar? If plaque is not removed, it can calcify -or harden- into a substance known as tartar. Once plaque becomes tartar, it can only be removed by your dentist or dental hygienist. As tartar forms, it interferes with thorough plaque removal and can contribute to the development of gingivitis.
