Is there a good way of checking for periodontal disease. I was flossing the other day and felt a ridge just at my gum line on one or two of my teeth with the spikey bit. I looked online and apparently this could be the bottom of my enamel/ start of my roots. this worried me as I have has a bit of gingivitis in the past but had hoped to have eradicated it. upon my research I found that periodontal disease was the destructive version of the disease and i’m worried I may have it. could you tell me the difference between to gingivitis and periodontal disease as well as how I can check for it. thank you for your help
