Inflamed gums are an early sign of periodontal disease

Inflamed Gums Dentist Armadale

In Australia, around 20% of adults have gum disease. Did you know that gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss?

You are probably familiar with two names for gum disease: gingivitis and periodontal disease. While similar, it’s important to understand that these are not the same; instead, gingivitis often leads to periodontal disease.

Gingivitis

One of the earliest signs of gingivitis is inflamed gums, which is caused by plaque build-up, leading to irritation and inflammation.

Periodontal disease

Gingivitis does not always lead to periodontal disease, however it is likely if left untreated.

Periodontal disease (or gum disease) is more a a more serious and advanced condition, where the gum tissue is more susceptible to bacterial infection.
