There are several types of gum diseases. The first is called gingivitis, which can, without treatment and care, become the more advanced version called periodontitis. Gingivitis is relatively easy to fix, but can be prevented through proper brushing and flossing techniques. Another gum problem, although it is not a disease, is called receding gums. This is when the gums slowly pull away from the teeth. It occurs from one of two ways: overbrushing or not brushing enough. You can tell if you have gingivitis or periodontitis if your gums are red, swollen, and bleed to the touch. Receding gums can be identified when too much of the tooth is exposed, and the tooth is too far into the gums.
