Phases of inflammation

Gum problems are a progressive process. If you recognize the symptoms early enough, you can act in good time.

Periodontitis is always preceded by marginal inflammation of the gums (gingivitis). Gingivitis can progress to periodontitis without you noticing any clear signs.

Apart from occasional bleeding gums, you should take the following signs seriously: bad breath, change in tooth position, teeth that appear to be getting longer or loosened, and occasional feelings of tension in the affected area.

If inflammation of the gum line is not treated in time, it can spread to the periodontium and ultimately lead to tooth loss.
