What Is Gum Disease?
3. Gingivitis
Gum disease can be broken down into two main stages, the first of which is known as gingivitis. Most adult people will have gingivitis to a degree, and the symptoms can be so mild that the patient will barely notice them at all.
Gingivitis can develop into the next stage, however, which is more serious, so it is something that should be addressed sooner rather than later. One of the main signs of gingivitis is seeing blood when you are brushing your teeth. In addition, the patient will often find that they have bad breath that they struggle to deal with at times.
