This can be classified into two categories based on the intensity of the infection.
Gingivitis: This disease indicates the inflammation of the gingiva. The area around the tooth becomes red and can also be painful. This is caused due to bacterial plaque and is characterized by swelling, slight pain and bleeding while brushing teeth.
Periodontal disease: Also referred to as periodontitis, this infection is usually the aggravated form (in the absence of treatment) of gingivitis. In this condition the soft tissue bone that support the tooth are damaged. This can result in the loss of tooth.
To avoid this disease, it is essential to maintain a good oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and eat a balanced nutritional diet. Professional cleaning once in a while is necessary to prevent gum diseases.
