Gingivitis
Gingivitis is the earliest and fully reversible stage of periodontal disease. It manifests as bleeding, redness, and swelling of the gums. Early intervention allows the disease process to be completely stopped.
Bleeding gums during brushing or flossing, redness and swelling of the gingival margin, bad breath. Gingivitis is often painless, which is why regular check-ups are crucial for early detection.
A comprehensive periodontal examination includes assessment of probing depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing, and analysis of radiographs. Precise diagnostics allow for an optimal treatment plan.
Professional removal of dental calculus (scaling) and root surface smoothing (root planing) form the foundation of therapy. Combined with oral hygiene instruction and regular monitoring, treatment leads to complete resolution of inflammation.

Periodontal disease develops gradually, often without pain. Recognising its stages is the first step to protecting not only your teeth — but your entire body.
Stage 1
●○○○
An early sign of periodontal disease, characterised by bleeding and reddened gums. Fully reversible with proper treatment.
Stage 2
●●○○
Inflammation spreads below the gum line. Periodontal pockets begin to form. Bone loss starts — but progression can be stopped.
Stage 3
●●●○
Deeper pockets, increased bone loss, and potential tooth mobility. The link between periodontal disease and general health becomes critical.
Stage 4
●●●●
Severe bone destruction. Teeth may become loose or require extraction. Can result in tooth loss.
