Healthy Gums
The gums are the pink or coral like in color,firm tissue that hug the tooth.
Gingivitis
The gums become inflamed from soft bacterial plaque. They may begin to bleed at this stage. If the plaque is not removed, it may harden and become tartar (Calculus).
Periodontitis
The soft tissue becomes swollen, the fibers break down, the tissue separates from the tooth, and the bone begins to erode.
