When the plaque is not removed, it can cause gingivitis, redness, and gums that are more likely to bleed. The so-called "pregnant gingivitis" affects most pregnant women to a certain extent and usually begins to appear in the second month of pregnancy.

Periodontitis is a more serious form of gum disease, including bone loss.
