Gingivitis and Periodontitis: Protect your Gums with Whiteline, in Yucatán
Here again is Dr. Guillermo Trujillo from Whiteline, and today we will talk about two problems that affect almost 90% of adults: gingivitis and its evolution to periodontitis.
What are they and how to differentiate them?
Gingivitis (Initial Stage)
Reversible inflammation of the gums.
Key symptom: Bleeding when brushing or flossing.
Main cause: Accumulation of bacterial plaque due to poor hygiene.
Periodontitis (Advanced Stage)
It irreversibly destroys the bone and tissues that support your teeth.
Serious consequence: Dental loss if not treated in time.
Risk factors: smoking, diabetes, ill-fitting fillings and genetic predisposition.
Why do we need to act fast?
Gingivitis is reversible with professional cleaning and good hygiene.
Periodontitis is NOT: The lost bone does not recover, but we can slow down its progression.
Warning Signs:
Red, swollen or tender gums.
Persistent bad breath.
Teeth that appear "longer" (due to gum recession).
