You're not alone
Many U.S. adults have some form of gum disease. It ranges from mild gum inflammation to serious damage to the tissue and bone holding the teeth — and at worst, lost teeth.
Two stages
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Gingivitis (mild) | gums turn red and swollen and bleed easily. Usually reversible with daily brushing and flossing and regular cleanings by a dentist or dental hygienist |
| Periodontitis (untreated gingivitis) | gums pull away from the teeth, forming pockets that become infected. Without treatment, the bone, gums and connective tissue supporting the teeth are destroyed |
