What is gingivitis?

An inflammation of the gums, from which about 80% of the Bulgarians suffer. Its course is rarely painful and normally the first symptoms which the patients notice are bleeding when brushing the teeth, swollen or red gums, sometimes pain in the gums and bad breath. Each inflammation of the gums continuing for more than a week is considered by the dentists to be gingivitis, which, if not treated, can lead to periodontitis and loss of teeth. The good news is that gingivitis is the first and most initial phase of the periodontal disease and is completely curable.

What is periodontitis?

A much worse scenario and a more serious diagnosis. With no administered treatment, the gum recedes and exposes the neck of the tooth. Toothache and unpleasant breath occur. The untreated chronic inflammations can even lead to accumulation of pus under the gum or affect the mucous membrane of the oral cavity. However, there is no need to despair, as periodontitis is also a curable disease. It, however, should not be postponed in any case. It is a fact, although a little frightening, that the untreated periodontitis can lead to loss of teeth.
