Both Gingivitis and Periodontal are types of gum disease, but of the two, gingivitis is the least severe and has the least impact, causing gum inflammation that many adults experience at some point. Untreated gingivitis can progress into periodontitis, a more serious gum disease that includes inflammation and damage to the supporting tissues and bone of your teeth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding these conditions and recognizing their signs early is key to maintaining healthy gums and preventing long-term damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How do Gingivitis and Periodontal differ?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gingivitis is the first and less severe type of gum disease. It begins when plaque, tartar, and bacteria build up on the teeth, leading to red, swollen, and bleeding gums. Early intervention, proper oral hygiene, and professional cleanings by your dentist can all help treat gingivitis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If gingivitis is untreated and keeps getting worse, it can eventually be termed periodontitis, which is a more serious diagnosis. Periodontitis involves inflammation not just of the gums, but also the bone and connective tissue that hold your teeth in place. Over time, this can lead to gum recession, loose teeth, and even tooth loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Common symptoms of gingivitis<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Red, swollen, or puffy gums<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bleeding gums, especially when brushing or flossing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Receding gums (your teeth may appear longer)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Persistent bad breath (halitosis), even after brushing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sore or tender gums<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensitivity to hot or cold foods<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discomfort or pain while chewing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Additional signs related to periodontitis\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the early symptoms of gingivitis, periodontitis brings more advanced and alarming signs that signal the condition has progressed.

When daily brushing and flossing are neglected, plaque builds up on your teeth. Over time, if not removed, plaque hardens into tartar (calculus), which settles beneath the gum line and becomes much more difficult to clean.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your body responds to this bacterial buildup with inflammation, which causes the red, swollen, and bleeding gums seen in gingivitis. If left untreated, this ongoing inflammation damages the supporting structures of your teeth, eventually leading to periodontitis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Core causes include:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li
