http://www.oramd.com/recedinggums/3-bleedingrecedinggums.htm Unfortunately, gingivitis is just the first stage of periodontal disease. If untreated, gingivitis will progress into periodontitis. This happens when the bacteria responsible for causing periodontal problems spreads from the gums to the root of the teeth. In time, pockets will form in between the gums and the teeth, and they are prime breeding ground for bacteria.
