Gum disease can also occur due to systemic and external influences and is progressive in nature. Gum disease is characterized by inflammation of the gums which is known as gingivitis. Gum disease progresses from gingivitis to periodontitis, and advanced periodontitis which leads to tooth loss.

Gum Disease also known as Periodontal Disease begins with bacterial growth in the mouth, the localized inflammation of the gingiva is initiated by bacteria in the dental plaque, which is a microbial biofilm that forms on the teeth and gingiva.
