Diagnosis and Prevention of Periodontal Disease

In the initial form of the disease, “Gingivitis”, redness, swelling and bleeding are usually noticeable. This condition is caused by poor oral hygiene and is usually reversible with good home care and professional cleanings. If left untreated, Gingivitis can lead to “Periodontitis” where the underlying tissues are destroyed. Pocket formation (separation of the gum from the tooth) along with bone loss are the first signs of Periodontitis. This condition is usually asymptomatic.
