How quickly does gingivitis turn in to periodontal diesease?

Gingivitis: Gingivitis is a form of periodontal disease where only the gingival tissue effected. There is no bone loss. Gingivitis is reversible whereas periodontists is not. Once the bone is destroyed is does not come back. Every person is different so we cannot tell you how quickly your bone level will be destroyed. Why wait. Treat your gingivitis now and prevent bone loss. Keep your mouth healthy.

Depends: The severity of the gingivitis, your current home care and dental visit consistency, heredity, nutrition, etc. may dictate the progress. Proper home care and dental visits are the most important in preventing the progression. I would get an update from your dentist and the severity of your condition.

At least 6 weeks: It would take a minimum of 6 weeks for someone to go from gingival health to periodontal disease if they stopped brushing and flossing. All depends on your genetics, some people will never get the disease, others will get it even if they do everything right.

6-8 weeks: Untreated gingivitis can advance to periodontitis in 6-8 weeks. See your dentist if you suspect you have gum disease because the sooner you treat it the better.
