Aggressive periodontitis can affect young people who are otherwise healthy. This can typically be found in teenagers and young adults and mainly affects the molars and incisors. When diagnosing this condition, the dentist will look for severe alveolar bone loss, the bone that forms the tooth socket. Ironically, patients generally form very little dental plaque or calculus. #MouthBodyConnection

Chronic gingivitis is a type of gum disease common in children. It usually causes gum tissue to swell, turn red, and bleed easily.
Gingivitis is both preventable and treatable with regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental care. #MouthBodyConnection
