Essential Insights into Gum Disease Stages and Effective Prevention
                     From Mild to Severe:
How Gum Disease Progresses
Gum disease progresses through distinct stages, 
starting with reversible gingivitis and advancing to 
severe periodontitis
if left untreated, impacting gums, teeth, and bone 
health.
Stage 1: Gingivitis
Gingivitis is the initial and reversible stage of gum 
disease caused by plaque buildup, leading to red, 
swollen gums and occasional bleeding during 
brushing.
Stage 2: Early Periodontitis
Early periodontitis occurs when untreated gingivitis 
advances, causing gum sensitivity, persistent bad 
breath, and pockets forming between teeth and 
gums, requiring deep cleaning treatments.
Stage 3: Moderate to 
Advanced Periodontitis
Moderate to advanced periodontitis involves 
deterioration of the gum tissue and bone, leading 
to receding gums, tooth shifting, and potential 
tooth loss, which may require advanced surgical 
interventions.
Gum disease is manageable if caught early. 
Treatment is vital at any stage. Kessler Dental 
provides expert gum disease treatment in Lansdale
