Gum disease or Periodontitis is the result of bacteria building up in oral tissues that leads to the formation of plaque. The plaque then hardens into tartar which will need professional dental cleaning to get rid of. Gingivitis, which causes gums to inflame and bleed, is a pretty mild form of gum disease that can potentially advance or elevate into periodontitis if not treated immediately. Periodontitis, on the other hand, is a more serious form of gum disease which causes the inner layer of the gum and bone to pull away from the teeth and form pockets.
