🦷 The stages of gum disease - and why catching it early matters 1️⃣ Gingivitis - plaque buildup at the gumline, bone still intact. The ONLY reversible stage 🙌 2️⃣ Early periodontitis - bacteria start damaging supporting bone 3️⃣ Moderate periodontitis - significant bone loss begins 4️⃣ Advanced periodontitis - majority of supporting bone is gone Here's the part most people don't know: these bacteria don't stay in your mouth. They can travel through inflamed gum tissue and impact your heart, brain, kidneys, and more 😳 Moral of the story? Don't skip the floss, and don't skip your cleanings. Your gums (and the rest of your body) will thank you. 📍 Book your appointment - 🔗 on page!
