Where gums have receded, gum grafts for receding gums may be discussed with our periodontist.
Stage 1 — Gingivitis: Calculus builds and gums become inflamed. Reversible with treatment.
Stage 2 — Periodontitis: Inflamed gums separate from teeth, forming pockets with early bone loss. Treatable.
Stage 3 — Advanced Periodontitis: Deep pockets, severe bone loss, and risk of tooth loss.
