• gingivitis is an inflammatory process in the gum that does not affect the tooth. Manifested by deposits on the surface of the teeth, swelling of the gum tissue, a repulsive odor;
• Periodontitis is a process of slow tooth decay due to infection in the tissue near the bone. It can provoke itching in the gums, denudation of the tooth, inconvenience during meals.
