Do You Have Gingivitis or Periodontitis? | Different Stages Of Gum Disease

There are different stages of gum disease - including gingivitis and periodontitis (periodontal disease). This video talks about the differences between the two, how to know if you have it, and how to prevent it. Healthy gums are important because they directly correlate with the bone that holds your teeth in place.

You can pay as little as $15-25 a month for preventative that covers cleanings and any normal care. Extractions and all that is what people end up paying more for.

I have periodontitis, I know I do. I haven't been to the dentist in almost 7 years. I didn't have insurance for a couple years and then got lazy and fell out of the habit of scheduling dentist appointments. Funny thing is that I never had a cavity in my life, but it's my gums that are deteriorating.

[@IMTooShort2C]

Same. I've never had a cavity and therefore felt like my teeth health was good. I go to the dentist once or twice a year and they always tell me to floss more but that's about it. Now they said I have gum disease and my pockets in some areas are 7mm. Gotta go see a periodontist now

[@jj1106]

You can have cavities and not know until it’s too late. I was shook when I finally went after 10 years and found out I had 8 cavities and needed a root canal. I used an electric toothbrush and a waterpik. I thought that was enough… it wasn’t 😢 Professional cleanings once a year are the only way to prevent gum disease. Because of my negligence, I now need to get deep cleanings twice a year. You’re not saving money by not going. It gets more expensive the longer you wait. Take it from me.

[@xutionest]

Lol what makes me laugh. British people get a bad reputation for poor dental hygiene, however on the NHS we get to see a dentist every 6 months for a check up, or sooner if we have issues. Yet the British get the reputation? Its a shame countries like the USA u only get seen if u pay or have insurance.

If you’re told gingivitis then stop stressing. You’re doing that to yourself. You you’re test was negative and still thinking you’re positive.

[@bookworm05234]

I just went to the dentist after many years of avoiding due to fear and money. Been bleeding when brushing and bleeding when not brushing. I could see the buildup too of calcium and tartar. The anxiety and fear in my head was worse than reality when I did go. I had to go in two sessions for a root planing and scaling. Numbing shots are your best friends. I do have bone loss and recession, but none are loose (so far). My teeth look so much better. My gums aren’t bleeding anymore nor looking irritated and red. I’m so happy I got over my fears and went. So hard to believe that just a little over a month ago I would see pink in the sink and now I don’t. Removing all that stuff really does let your gums heal.

[@DizlysWrld]

When I found out I had periodontal disease, I was told I need to come back every 3 months. After my initial deep cleaning, I was determined to brush 2x a day and floss daily. I went back for my 2nd checkup 3 months later and he said I'm doing a great job. I kept up with my maintenance another 3 months and at my 3rd visit he was so amazed, he dropped me to every 4 months. I'm kinda sad cause I like going every 3 months. It help keep me in check. Oh well, guess I have to push myself an extra month longer. Hopefully he doesn't say I only have to come in every 6 months.

Fantastic advice. Our mum took us to the dentist on the eruption of our first permanent tooth and it's been a visit every 6 months for the past 5 decades! I, and my brother and sister still have all our teeth! So do my kids, we followed the same advice. There is nothing as valuable in life for health, happiness, and self confidence as a great smile and a healthy mouth. Take care of your teeth and you will feel and look good..........and don't smoke. Cigarettes destroyed a good friend of mines teeth, and at 40 is wearing snap on dentures as he didn't have enough bone to support a full implant procedure. He hates them, it depresses him all the time. He didn't visit the dentist through fear and didn't even know he had a major problem until it was far too late. Always keep some money available for dental visits. It's the best investment you will ever make.

As someone who cannot and has never been to the dentist before in their life, this is scary but both of my parents have periodontitis and I kinda knew that I was gonna get it as a kid. But for about two years now I’ve been brushing my teeth every day and the bleeding was always there. But a few days ago I’ve noticed that there’s bad irritation in the back of my left side of my gums and I’m scared it’s periodontitis. I’m in college and I cannot go to the dentist sadly. I have no idea what to do now.

[@mangoesssz8562]

I don’t know why you’re unable to go to the dentist but I hope you will be able to soon! 😢 I too am in college and have been having problems with my teeth and gums for a few years. I didn’t grow up going to the dentist very often and have only been like twice in my 19 years of life. I recently got the courage to book and appointment as I was scared that I would be judged by the dentist and my parents for letting my teeth get this bad (btw it was caused by hard brushing) . I went for my deep cleaning two days ago. The best decision I’ve ever made. My appointment was split into two so my next one is in two weeks. My teeth already look 10x better (with just slight discomfort) and the inflammation has gone down massively. I will now be taking care of my teeth wayyyy better from now on!!! I hope you end up getting the treatment you need❤️

I need to see a periodontitis. I have a wire retainer in the back of my front bottom teeth. I have been skeptical to floss there in fear of breaking the wire (which happened before), and plaque has built up there. I recently got my teeth cleaned and they said I have gum recession on those bottom teeth in the front. Im scared, I dont want to lose my bottom front teeth. The hygientist said at 32 that's young for me to be experiencing this. My teeth are not mobile thank god. And I'm not experiencing temperature sensitivity. But if you poke the area with something sharp, it hurts (found out while hygentist was cleaning). She said if I want I could get a gum tissue graft to help protect the gum line. But for now I'm making sure i brush and floss regularly, especially there. She also recommended an electric rechargeable toothbrush to decrease pressure on my gums while brushing. Whitney, any thoughts? Please help! 🙏😥
