Anatomical Stages & Intervention Urgency:
Stage 1: Gingivitis (Early Reversible Gum Inflammation)
Sticky plaque hardens into tartar along the gumline, irritating gums without yet damaging jawbone.
Stage 2: Early Periodontitis (3–4 mm Gum Pockets)
Tartar creeps below the gumline, detaching gum fibres and starting early bone loss.
Stage 3: Moderate-to-Deep Pockets (5 mm+) or Gum Recession
Toothbrushes cannot reach 5–7 mm deep pockets, allowing bacteria to erode supporting jawbone.
Stage 4: Loose Teeth & Systemic Health Link
Severe untreated gum infection loosens teeth and worsens blood sugar control in diabetic patients.
