Periodontitis and gingivitis are different names for different stages of gum disease. Gum disease at first is just a little pink in the sink, some unpleasant breath and maybe some light tooth sensitivity. This does not seem like it is worth taking antibiotics or getting oral surgery for, but the problem with these diseases is they get really bad really fast. Advanced periodontitis means your tooth will become wobbly and fall out, and you may even get sepsis from the necrotic tissues in your mouth.
