Types of
Periodontal Disease
Gingivitis
The mildest form of this disease, gingivitis is the bacterial infection of tissues within your mouth. It is important to get treated for gingivitis before more severe damage occurs.
Chronic Periodontitis
Chronic periodontitis or chronic periodontal disease, is a disease of the oral cavity. More severe than gingivitis and the most common type of periodontal disease; this form causes your gums to recede.
Aggressive Periodontal Disease
Essentially the same as chronic periodontal disease but this occurs much faster. If you smoke or have a family history of this particular disease then your risk level of this occurring is heightened.
Periodontal Disease Relating To Systemic Conditions
If you have a disease or condition that affects the rest of your body and periodontal disease is one of these symptoms, then the disease is accelerated at its quickest rate. Common occurrences that cause periodontal disease are diabetes, respiratory disease and heart disease.
