About the treatment
What Is Gum Disease?
Failure to maintain the health of the gums can lead to periodontal disease (gum disease). Periodontal diseases are infections around the tissues and bone that support teeth.
It begins when certain bacteria in plaque produce toxins and enzymes that irritate the gums and cause inflammation.
The resulting inflammation, which may be painless, can damage the attachment of the gums and bone to the tooth.
This can result in tooth loss. Gum disease can affect anyone if good oral health is not maintained.
Having routine check-ups with a dentist and a teeth cleaning with a hygienist is crucial for early detection of gum disease, as the earlier it is found, the more successful the treatment results.
