Can lead to
periodontitis
or periodontal
disease.

4. This is an
infection of the
gum tissue &
is caused by
plaque buildup.

5. It is usually
preceded by
gingivitis
which is
inflammation
of the gum
tissue.

6. Here are

of periodontal
disease &
preventive

need to be
taken.

12. The gum tissue
around your
teeth must be
firm & pink,
not plump and
red.

that cause
periodontal
disease also
lead to foul
smelling breath.

15. If you struggle
with this even
after brushing,
it’s likely that
you don’t floss
enough.

16. This signifies
that harmful
bacteria are
still living in
your mouth.

18. In early
periodontal
disease, your
gums will likely
bleed easily
when you brush.

20. Gum tissue begins
to shrink away
from the bone as
gingivitis
progresses into
periodontitis.

indication of gum
disease & creates
gaps between
your teeth and
gums, leading
to tooth loss.

when plaque
accumulates on
your teeth near
the gums &
hardens, creating
a bacterial biofilm.

cause tooth
rot and bad
breath.

death of gum
tissue.
